                 THE SOUTH KOREAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT

  (Mr. DJOU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DJOU. Madam Speaker, Members of the House, yesterday the United 
States Navy began conducting war game operations off the coast of 
Korea. Many of the sailors and ships come from Pearl Harbor, located in 
my district.
  Yesterday, I also had the opportunity to finally meet with the Korean 
ambassador to the United States, who is also the former Prime Minister 
of South Korea. These are important developments. It is important for 
our Nation to strengthen and deepen our ties with Korea in the 
troubling times we have in the Korean Peninsula.
  I want to state and strongly urge this House to most expeditiously 
move the free trade agreement between the United States and South Korea 
to make sure that what happened 60 years ago in the Korean Peninsula 
doesn't happen again.
