            (1) Mr. Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of

                    (A) condemns the actions which occurred in Laramie, Wyoming, 
                as unacceptable and outrageous;
                    (B) urges each Member of Congress and every citizen of the 
                United States, in his or her own way, through his or her church, 
                synagogue, mosque, workplace, or social organization, to join in

                    (C) pledges to join in efforts to bring an end to such

                    (D) pledges to do everything in its power to fight the sort

                innocent people.
