                APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, April is Sexual Assault Awareness 
Month, and I join with all of those across the country who are taking 
the opportunity to raise this issue, and that is the issue of sexual 
assault that occurs far too often, often goes unreported, often leaves 
individuals feeling shameful and feeling that they have no place to 
turn.
  That is a kind of terror and a kind of terrorism that our country 
must rid itself of. So I urge all of us to join together to make sure 
that we can reduce the incidences of sexual assault.
