                    REMEMBERING SREBRENICA MASSACRE

  (Mr. BELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as the proud Representative of 
the largest Bosniak population outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to 
stand in solidarity with them.
  Over the weekend, we marked 31 years since more than 8,300 Bosniaks 
were murdered at Srebrenica. Today, we remember the victims and stand 
with the families and survivors.
  Srebrenica should never have happened, and yet it did--not because 
the world didn't know but because in too many places, the world chose 
to look away.
  As co-chair of the Bosnia Caucus and as a St. Louisan, I will do 
everything I can to ensure we are reaffirming our commitment to truth 
and remembrance. We have an obligation to honor that history and to 
support those who live with its legacy and trauma every day.
