                       SPECIAL OPERATIONS SUCCESS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the successful raid by 
the United States Special Forces resulting in the death of the 
murderous ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is a significant victory for 
freedom.
  Americans commend the military and intelligence communities for their 
diligent work in tracking a murderous terrorist who committed 
atrocities, leading to his cowardly suicide killing children in Syria.
  I am thankful for the decisive leadership by President Donald Trump. 
Our commitment to deny ISIS a safe haven where they can launch attacks 
against American families sends a message that the U.S. and our allies 
stand ready and determined to succeed in the fight against terrorism.
  National radio commentator Buck Sexton, on Monday, correctly praised 
our special operations success as ``a big deal.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism, just as, next week, 
we will cherish the 30th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's liberation of 
Europe from communist socialism.
