               TRUMP DAMAGED IRAN'S ABILITY TO SOW UNREST

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, the United States has adopted an aggressive, 
proactive approach of gathering intelligence on our enemies and 
removing those individuals who seek to cause us harm in order to save 
American lives.
  President Trump did just that. On January 3, our military, acting 
under the direction of our Commander in Chief, killed Iranian General 
Soleimani to protect the lives of Americans and to end his reign of 
terror in the Middle East.
  The actions of our President and our military have damaged Iran's 
ability to sow unrest in the Middle East, and we have no doubt saved 
countless lives by removing a terrorist who intended to harm our 
Nation.
  We must continue to support our troops serving abroad, and we must 
remain vigilant in our fight against terror and our ongoing efforts to 
bring lasting peace to the Middle East.
