                       NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION

  (Mr. LANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, we have been flooded with words of 
condolence, but the time now is for action.
  I call on the Taliban to hand over to us Osama bin Laden, if not for 
this act, for his previous acts of terrorism.
  I call on Iran to stop supporting Hezbollah.
  I call on Syria to close the headquarters of the various terrorist 
organizations in Damascus.
  I call on Yasser Arafat to arrest all terrorists, suicide bombers, 
and plotters of mass murder.
  I call on Europe to join us in our policy vis-a-vis Iran and Libya, 
and stop providing aid and assistance to them.
  I call on Russia, China, and North Korea to stop selling technology 
and weapons of mass destruction to countries that support terrorism.
  Yesterday, the United States of America lost its innocence, but it 
gained a new will to eradicate the evil of terrorism from this globe.
