            CONVEYING SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF DANIEL PEARL

  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, the Chaplain this afternoon 
prayed that we might have persuasive words. Might I add my voice of 
outrage to the tragic and heinous killing of Daniel Pearl.
  My sympathies to his family, my acknowledgment of his pregnant wife, 
and, as well, my sympathies to those of us who covet and love freedom.
  Daniel Pearl died an outrageous and heinous and horrific and cruel 
death, and we must never forget that he stands for the expression of 
truth and the seeking of reconciliation. For that reason, we must bring 
the perpetrators of this violence to justice; and I would join with the 
administration, and I ask the Congress to join, as well, to ask that 
those who perpetrated this terrible act will be brought to justice in 
the United States of America.
  Let us applaud the leadership of Pakistan, that they will pursue 
those to the very end. Let us not forget the message of Daniel Pearl 
and his wife, that reconciliation and peace, espousing freedom and 
justice throughout the world, is a valid value for the United States of 
America.
