                  SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR TROOPS

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, all eyes are on Iraq. Saddam 
has failed to provide credible evidence to back his bogus claims that 
he completely disarmed.
  Saddam will not tell us about his 26,000 liters of anthrax; 38,000 
liters of dangerous toxins; or 500 tons of sarin gas, mustard gas and 
VX nerve agents. Enough to kill millions of people.
  Saddam repeatedly declares he does not have any chemical or 
biological weapons. Yet he just released them to his men for use 
against our troops. And he has not disclosed his mobile biological 
weapons labs or more than 30,000 munitions, including missiles capable 
of delivering chemical agents.
  President Bush said, ``Responding to enemies only after they have 
struck first is not self-defense. It is suicide.''
  I urge America and this Congress to support our President and our 
troops. This war is for our freedom and the freedom of the world.
