                          BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, Boko Haram's attacks on the 
people of Nigeria have become more vicious. Their wicked deeds are 
devastating men, women, and children, Christians, and Muslims. Everyone 
is a target. Like ISIS, the terrorist organization they align 
themselves with, Boko Haram, has beheaded hundreds of innocent people, 
including a 6-year-old Christian boy in June.
  Madam Speaker, this week, I am introducing a bill to help combat Boko 
Haram, and today I am meeting with five of the kidnapped girls who 
escaped from the terror of Boko Haram.
  Madam Speaker, we have a major international crisis to deal with in 
the Middle East and in Nigeria. Boko Haram has the potential to explode 
any day, like ISIS. They have killed hundreds, including elected 
officials.
  We shall tweet every day #bringbackourgirls to raise alarm over the 
kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls. We must not forget these girls, and we 
must stop Boko Haram.
  Tweet, tweet, tweet: #bringbackourgirls. Tweet, tweet, tweet: 
#followrepwilson.
