                         ISIS IS A REAL THREAT

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, less than a month ago, an 
American of Afghan descent shot and killed 49 people in Orlando. He did 
so while pledging allegiance to ISIS. In the words of the actual 
gunman, this was a terrorist attack.
  What is worse is that many of my colleagues across the aisle have 
attempted to hijack facts and muddy the conversation. Why? Because this 
attack further disproves the President's narrative that ISIS is 
contained.
  Don't even get me started on the fact that the President won't say 
the words ``radical Islamic terrorist.'' The administration even 
attempted to remove mention of ISIS in the 9/11 transcription.
  Folks, ISIS has declared war against our American way of life, and we 
need to work together to protect all Americans from future attacks, and 
our Commander in Chief finally needs to come up with a strategy to 
defeat ISIS.
