                             DARFUR, SUDAN

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, a tragedy of the highest 
magnitude exists in Darfur in Sudan, Africa.
  Mr. Speaker, over 450,000 have died; 2.5 million have been displaced 
internally; 200,000 have fled to Chad; 3 million, Mr. Speaker, are 
living on emergency aid.
  Mr. Speaker, this tragedy exists for two reasons: One, people of ill 
will, the actions of these people of ill will; and two, the inactions 
of people of goodwill.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for people of goodwill to take a stand and 
realize that injustice anywhere, as Dr. King put it, is a threat to 
justice everywhere. And injustice in Sudan in Africa is a threat to 
justice in America.
