                        HONORABLE DAVID TRIMBLE

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today having just come from a 
memorable luncheon where I and my colleagues, including the 
distinguished chairman of the Committee on International Relations, 
welcomed the Honorable David Trimble, a member of Parliament, in 
Washington, D.C.
  David Trimble has served as leader of Northern Ireland's Ulster 
Unionist Party. It is one of the strongest of the parties that want 
continued ties to Great Britain, but it was David Trimble who led the 
charge for peace and was rightly recognized by the Nobel Committee with 
a Nobel Peace Prize in 1998.
  Madam Speaker, he came today to give us sage advice that the 
boundaries of the world of terrorism have reached for 30 years from 
Northern Ireland and the Middle East into the very heart of America.
  I will reflect later today on this floor about the advice that he 
gave my colleagues, but let me just reiterate the comments of the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), who today looked the Right 
Honorable David Trimble in the eye and said in a momentous tone, ``Stay 
engaged, David Trimble. It is men such as you that times such as these 
so richly require.''
