                       CONDITIONS IN SOUTH SUDAN

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, this picture depicts South Sudanese women in a 
food distribution line. Another desperate woman at the fore is hunched 
over barbed wire.
  Violence, displacement, and starvation plague the world's newest 
nation, but that doesn't have to be so.
  Months ago, I wrote the Obama administration urging that they invite 
former President George W. Bush and the Bush Institute to engage in the 
crisis, given that President Bush had forged lasting relationships with 
South Sudanese leaders during the negotiation of peace in 2005.
  The Obama administration, perhaps constrained by pride, has failed to 
act, and the very nation the U.S. helped birth is perishing in its 
infancy.
