                      SUPPORTING OUR ARMED FORCES

  (Mr. de LUGO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. de LUGO. Mr. Speaker, I would say to my friends on both sides of 
the aisle I hope that all of them have the opportunity I had to see the 
President visiting our young men and women yesterday. It was shown on 
television, the President, this young President visiting men and women 
on board the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and to 
see the response of our servicemen and women to our President as he 
thanked them and was thanking the battle group for the splendid 
performance of our military in Haiti. I had to feel proud both of our 
military and our President.
  There has been so much said on this floor, I wish we could step back 
and look at what really is going on there. The mission is being carried 
out by the military in a manner such as we have never seen before with 
great restraint. We can be very, very proud of our country.
  Let us all hope that all goes well, and let us back our President and 
our service personnel.
