                          THE CRISIS IN SUDAN

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, when I was in my district, 
commemorating and celebrating Eid, of course, with my many constituents 
who have just had Ramadan, I met one of the leaders of the Sudanese 
community.
  Clearly, this crisis in Sudan deserves our attention. I rise today to 
express great concern for the people of Sudan and the peace that they 
were attempting to implement.
  I ask for the United States to be diligent in seeking a cease-fire, a 
permanent cease-fire, between two fighting generals who have nothing to 
do but to fight over power. We must be concerned about women, children, 
and families.
  I have been to Sudan during the horrible genocide in Darfur. I know 
that they have overcome much. I have been to South Sudan with the right 
to return.
  Now it is time for peace. We have brought out our foreign officers, 
but we must also try to secure the Americans that are there. Sudan 
deserves peace, and the United States must be engaged in peace efforts.
