minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I come before the House this morning, having 
heard the news of the attack on the United States Embassies in Africa.
  Even though our President has particular problems at this time, it is 
important that the Congress join with the President and this 
administration to make it clear to anyone who attacks an American 
Embassy anywhere in the world, that an attack on an American Embassy 
and American officials is an attack on the United States of America and 
will not be tolerated.
  In fact, this Congress, this administration, will track down the 
perpetrators of those horrendous attacks on American Embassies and 
American personnel and those who work for the United States. They will, 
in fact, be brought to justice.
  We will not tolerate lawlessness anywhere in the globe and 
particularly against American facilities and American personnel. I know 
other Members join me in that commitment.
