            REMEMBERING AND HONORING OTTO FREDERICK WARMBIER

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)

  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Otto Frederick Warmbier. He is an American who was horrifically 
tortured and killed by the North Korean regime 5 years ago.
  Otto was a dedicated young man. He was the valedictorian of his high 
school and at the University of Virginia. At the age of 22, he was 
taken hostage and suffered the worst of the North Korean regime's 
brutality.
  Although Otto is no longer with us, his wonderful family carries on 
his legacy every day with their advocacy and strength.
  As one of the first Korean-American women to serve in Congress, and 
as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I will always--
always--be a loud voice for global human rights and hold violators 
accountable.
  We remember and honor Otto always.
