                          IF NOT NIGER, WHERE?

  (Mr. MARKEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MARKEY. Madam Speaker, welcome to the People's House Tony Blair. 
We need you. The Niger evidence that supposedly showed Saddam Hussein 
had reconstituted his nuclear weapons program turns out to be forged, 
but you say, wait, there is more.
  We are aware of Niger, but Africa is a big continent. You say you 
have other sources, possibly a third country that thinks Saddam Hussein 
may have been buying uranium in some other Africa country. Our own CIA 
does not know what you know. Our National Security Council says it does 
not know what you know. Indeed, the President of the United States says 
he does not know what you know.
  The American public needs to know the truth. You hold the key. 
Please,

Mr. Prime Minister, redeem our trust. If not Niger, where were the 
nuclear materials, Mr. Prime Minister?
