           THE SUDAN SECURITY, PEACE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to announce that I 
am going to cosponsor H.R. 4169, the Sudan Security, Peace, and 
Accountability Act.
  I'm doing this, Mr. Speaker, because it has been called to our 
attention that there are atrocities still taking place in Sudan. People 
are suffering, people are dying, and there is a possibility of a 
humanitarian crisis developing. This bill will allow sanctions to be 
imposed.

  I would also like to thank Mr. George Clooney and his father for 
calling these atrocities to our attention.
  I hope to say more about this in the days to come.
