                     HONORING THOSE KILLED IN IRAN

  (Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, President Trump has launched 
us into a war of choice with Iran, with no clear explanation. Yet we 
know some of the consequences. Six U.S. servicemembers have been 
killed, dozens injured. More than 40,000 of our troops, including 
hundreds of Pennsylvanians, are at risk. Thousands of American citizens 
are stranded.
  I do not mourn the loss of Ayatollah Khamenei. Yet I am greatly 
concerned about the danger and destruction that Mr. Trump has unleashed 
in the Middle East.
  Abraham Lincoln wrote that our Founders resolved to so frame the 
Constitution that no one man should hold the power to bring oppression 
of war upon our Nation.
  That power lies with Congress because we are closest to the people, 
and it is why I voted today in favor of the War Powers Resolution.
  Mr. Speaker, I lift the names of our fallen soldiers. Just as our 
colleagues did a moment ago, I lift their names in prayer: Captain Cody 
Khork, Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor, Sergeant First Class Noah 
Tietjens, Sergeant Declan Coady, Major Jeffrey O'Brien, and Chief 
Warrant Officer Robert Marzan.
  God bless them, and God bless their families.
