                      STANDING WITH PEOPLE OF IRAN

  (Mr. McCLINTOCK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, for 2 weeks now, the long-suffering 
people of Iran have taken to the streets to confront the thugocracy 
that has oppressed them for more than 40 years.
  Today, America must stand with the people of Iran. H. Res. 118 has 
257 cosponsors, representing both political parties, expressing its 
support for the Iranian resistance. I urge the leadership to bring it 
to the floor immediately for a vote.
  It is time for the United States to step forward with material 
support for the freedom movement. They need direct satellite access to 
the internet that the regime has denied them on the ground. They need 
us to restore economic sanctions against the regime.
  This time, in this hour, let the United States stand with the people 
of Iran and, by so doing, honor those proud words on our Liberty Bell: 
``Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and unto all the inhabitants 
thereof.''
