                        NIGERIAN KIDNAPPED GIRLS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, this week, women Members of the United 
States House of Representatives went to the Nigerian Embassy to plead 
and to insist on the fight to bring our girls home and, as well, to 
establish a victims' fund and to find and bring the thug Sekau, the 
leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, to justice.
  Today, I am going to read a few names of those girls that are missing 
for those mothers who are longing for their return:
  Rebecca Luka, Laraba John, Saratu Markus, Mary Usman, Debora Yahonna, 
Naomi Zakaria, Hanatu Musa, Hauwa Tella, Juliana Yakubu, Suzana Yakubu, 
Saraya Paul, Jummai Paul, Mary Sule, Jummai John, Yanke Shittima, Muli 
Waligam, Fatima Tabji, and Eli Joseph.
  I will put all of them in the Record.
  In honor of Mother's Day, I mourn with those mothers, I pray for 
mothers across America, and I pray for the Nigerian mothers whose 
children are still missing.
  May I ask prayers for all who are longing now for their children to 
return, and may I offer my blessings to my late mother, Ivalita 
Jackson.
