  CORRECTION TO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD OF MAY 2, 2002, AT PAGE H2021

  The following title for Mr. Bereuter's one minute is as follows:

              WELCOMING SPEAKER OF THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT

  (Mr. BEREUTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Speaker, America is blessed to have in Canada not 
only a neighbor but also a steadfast ally and true friend. While our 
geographic bonds are obvious, it is our deep cultural, political, and 
economic ties that will forever bind us. Therefore, it is my distinct 
honor to welcome to Washington today the Honorable Peter Milliken, the 
Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada.
  Mr. Speaker, I remind Members that this past October, only 1 month 
after

the fateful September day, parliamentarians from all NATO nations met 
in Ottawa, Canada, for the fall meeting of the NATO Parliamentary 
Assembly. At that meeting, the assembly endorsed the use of force 
responsible for the horrific attacks on America. Our Canadian hosts 
that day, as all parliamentarians, knew the significant risk associated 
with the endeavor.
  So it is with great sadness that we stand here today following the 
deaths of four Canadian soldiers, killed while on a mission to fight 
terror in Afghanistan.
  Mr. Speaker, I say to Speaker Milliken and to all Canadians, we 
remain deeply saddened by their loss and America thanks them for their 
steadfast partnership.
