                           GOD BLESS AMERICA

  (Mr. SHIMKUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, from the 23rd Psalm, ``though I walk 
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for 
Thou art with me.''
  God has blessed this Nation to be the most free, the most caring, and 
the most prosperous Nation in the world's history. But, as the Chaplain 
prayed, we seek peace and security through justice; and, I will add, 
justice will prevail.
  God will continue to bless this Nation. Let us all fly our flags and 
renew our pledge to be one Nation, under God, with liberty and justice 
for all.
  God bless this House, God bless this President, and God bless the 
United States of America.
