                   MOVING ON TO A MORE PEACEFUL WORLD

  (Mr. GARAMENDI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the United 
States military for carrying out an extraordinarily difficult and 
extraordinarily important task. Osama bin Laden is no more, and we 
thank them for their duration of this long and very necessary task; and 
for President Obama, he said he would get it done and he did. President 
Bush worked at this long and hard. And for all that have been involved 
in this very important task of ridding this world of the world's most 
notorious and dangerous terrorist, I congratulate them, and I think all 
America does, also.
  We need to continue to focus like a laser on al Qaeda wherever they 
may be across this world. This is our task, and we will not relent 
until we have finally succeeded in putting al Qaeda aside and moving on 
to a more peaceful world.
