                            THE RULE OF LAW

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, it is important for this body to adhere 
to the rule of law. There are several points that I want to make this 
morning that define adhering to the rule of law.
  First of all, we know that Mr. Cohen pled guilty yesterday on 
questions of truth or falsity to the United States Congress. With all 
due respect, we must investigate the rule of law.
  In addition, it is important that we put forward a bill that 
addresses the question of the killing in Yemen and our continued 
support for the bloodshed created by the war between Saudi Arabia and 
Yemen. The rule of law, peace or war, determination by this Congress.
  Finally, I encourage my colleagues to seek and look into their 
districts because of the increasing number of gangs--not MS-13, but 
gangs in our high schools and middle schools. We must begin to address 
directly more resources to intervene in children's lives to steer them 
away from the violence of gangs. Rule of law, doing our job.
  I hope that we start doing it, and doing it soon. I know we will do 
it in the 116th Congress.
