                  STOP U.S. ARMS SALES TO SAUDI ARABIA

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I am proud to introduce, today, H.R. 
643, a bipartisan bill to stop all U.S. arms sales and military aid to 
Saudi Arabia.
  Madam Speaker, it has been over 100 days since the Government of 
Saudi Arabia brutally murdered journalist and U.S. resident Jamal 
Khoshoggi at the Saudi consulate in Turkey.
  The Senate unanimously condemned the Saudi Government for this 
heinous crime, but the House has yet to do so. It is past time that the 
House clearly and unambiguously declares that there is a price to pay 
for such barbarity. Let it begin by ending all U.S. arms sales and 
military aid to the Saudi Government.
  I urge all my colleagues to join me and cosponsor H.R. 643.
