  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, July 27th marks the 70th 
Anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, which 
formally ended the Korean War.
  As Co-Chair of Congressional Caucus on Korea, I was grateful to have 
joined my colleagues in welcoming new Ambassador of the Republic of 
Korea to the United States, His Excellency Hyun-Dong Cho and the Korean 
National Assembly ruling party delegation to the U.S. Capitol for a 
breakfast recognizing veterans of the Korean War.
  I valued the opportunity to have met with 6 members of the ruling 
People Power Party Leader, Assemblyman Gi-Hyeon Kim, members of the 
National Assembly Chul-Gyu Lee, Seok-Ki Kim, Sang-Bum Yoo, Min-Kuk 
Kang, and Chairman of the International Relations Committee of the 
People Power Party and former National Assemblyman Jae-Young Lee.
  Visible proof of affection by Americans for the people of the 
Republic of Korea was the Joint Session of Congress speech by President 
Yoon Suk Yeol.
