                          SOUTH KOREA ELECTION

  (Mr. FOSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the free people 
of South Korea for their commitment to democracy following today's 
election of Lee Jae-myung.
  Like us, the people of South Korea have witnessed the mortal danger 
to democracy posed by lies, by corruption, and by illegal actions 
directed by those at the very top.
  The Korean people responded with courage and defended their democracy 
through peaceful civil disobedience, through lawful impeachment, and, 
now, through a free and fair election.
  They have shown strength, unity, and a dedication to the rule of law 
in a way that the rest of the world could do well to emulate.
  Mr. Speaker, I say to the citizens of South Korea, the people of the 
free world salute you.
