                   FIGHTING TERRORISM HERE AND ABROAD

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I want to follow on the comments made by the 
gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Gibbons) and urge Congress to continue its 
work in dealing with Iraq, and I specifically thank the gentleman from 
Missouri (Mr. Gephardt) for his very proactive role in this debate. 
This is a bipartisan effort to rid the war of terrorism. This is one 
party versus the other; this is good versus evil. President Bush has 
made that clear. Our allies in the U.N. have heard the message, and I 
urge us all to focus on this very serious problem we face in this 
Nation.
  When people see the scourge of Iraq and the problems they pose to the 
free world, I think they, too, will join in a common voice and a common 
purpose of defeating terrorism and evil. Again I commend the minority 
leader, and for all those in Congress who are prepared to weigh in on 
this very critical issue of national security; and I certainly applaud 
the President, who has been steadfast since September 11 in leading 
this Nation not only to fight the war here at home but abroad.
