00:00In a few moments, the Lakin-Riley Act will become the very first bill that I proudly
00:07sign into law as the 47th President of the United States.
00:13I'm going to sign this in honor of Lakin-Riley.
00:19To her friends and classmates, she was a light of warmth and kindness in every single room.
00:25To her parents and family, she was everything in the world.
00:29They've had a miserable period of time.
00:33Just after 9 a.m. last February 22nd, Lakin went out for a jog on the campus of the University
00:40of Georgia, but she was just never returned.
00:43She never came back, did she, huh?
00:46It's a tremendous tribute to your daughter, what's taking place today.
00:51That's all I can say, but it's so sad we have to be doing it at all.
00:55To Lakin's family, we will keep Lakin's memory alive in our hearts forever, everyone's hearts.
01:02With today's action, her name will also live forever in the laws of our country, and this
01:08is a very important law.
01:09This is something that has brought Democrats and Republicans together.
01:14That's not easy to do.
01:15Lakin did it.
01:16Lakin did it.
01:18You will never, ever forget Lakin Hope Riley.
01:22It's a landmark law that we're doing today.
01:25It's going to save countless innocent American lives.
