                               BOKO HARAM

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 1-
year anniversary of the tragic kidnapping of 276 girls in Nigeria.
  I welcome Patience and Saw to Washington, two of the girls who are 
with us all day. I thank all of the Members of Congress for taking part 
in this sad, sad anniversary. We are wearing red and purple today to 
note the horrible atrocity.
  How much longer do we have to wait before the girls are returned to 
their families? How many more people must die before Boko Haram is 
defeated? How many more families must be separated? How many more women 
will be raped?
  Mr. Speaker, Boko Haram must be stopped. We must do everything we can 
to help the Nigerian Government in bringing back our girls.
  We must continue to march, continue to demonstrate, continue to 
protest, continue to pass legislation, and continue to tweet 
#bringbackourgirls and #followrepwilson until our girls are returned 
home.
