                    HONORING OTTO FREDERICK WARMBIER

  (Mrs. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor and remember Otto 
Frederick Warmbier as June 19 marks 8 years since his tragic death at 
the hands of the North Korea regime.
  Otto was a dedicated young man who graduated as salutatorian of his 
high school in Ohio before attending the University of Virginia.
  While on a school tour in North Korea in 2015, Otto was imprisoned 
and tortured by the North Korea regime. He died just a few days after 
his release at just 22 years young.
  Otto experienced what no human being should ever have to go through. 
May his story continue to remind us of all the atrocities the North 
Korea regime is capable of.
  Mr. Speaker, we remember, and we will continue to honor Otto and his 
memories. In Korean: ``Ulineun Otto-leul yeong-wonhi gieok-hal geos-
ibnida.''
