                            TRIP FOR FREEDOM

  (Mr. CURBELO of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CURBELO of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I want to strongly urge my 
colleagues to visit an exhibition happening right now in the Rayburn 
foyer.
  The graphic display, which includes a remarkable collection of 
photos, is entitled the Venezuela of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. It 
is a reminder of the hard work being done every day by Venezuelans and 
Venezuelan Americans in their pursuit to restore democracy in a country 
ravaged by economic turmoil and a regime filled with corrupt leaders 
who will persecute anyone who voices disagreement.
  It is more important now than ever for the United States to remain 
firm in our support for the people of Venezuela. We must remain strong 
in solidarity with the people who fight for a truly democratic 
Venezuela free from tyranny and the fear of a regime that promotes 
violence against its own people.
  Again, I encourage my colleagues to take advantage of this 
opportunity to join the Educational Foundation for Democracy and IVAC 
in the promotion of a better future for Venezuelans and everyone in our 
hemisphere.
