               CELEBRATING THE NATO ALLIANCE FOR LIBERTY

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the historic 2024 North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit being held here in Washington, D.C.
  We recognize 75 years of this indispensable NATO alliance for 
liberty, founded in the wake of the free world's great victory over 
tyranny in World War II.
  This week, 32 world leaders gather in Washington to demonstrate 
NATO's unity and strength, facing greater threats to our shared 
security from the likes of Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.
  The Biden administration, along with bipartisan support in Congress, 
have strengthened NATO, including the important addition of Finland and 
Sweden.

  NATO, led by the United States and our allies, has stood resolute 
with our partner in liberty, Ukraine, against Vladimir Putin's tyranny 
and Russia's unprovoked illegal invasion of Ukraine that could trigger 
the largest war on the European continent since World War II. That, we 
must avoid.
  Let people free stand with our NATO allies working together in 
alliance protecting America and the rest of our free world.
