            MAKING CLEAR THE RESOLVE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, it was written long ago that without a 
vision, the people perish. Tonight, the President of the United States 
from this very Chamber will offer a vision of moral clarity and purpose 
and resolve for the American people and the world.
  It will be resolve to see our war on terror through to its just 
conclusion and protect our people; it will be resolve against any rogue 
state who, through its weapons or associations, threatens our peace and 
security; it will be resolve to renew our economy during struggling 
recessionary times and resolve to renew our cities through a faith-
based initiative; and it will be resolve to keep our promises to 
seniors in reforming and expanding Medicare.
  The President will describe our challenges at home and abroad as 
clear; but this President, Mr. Speaker, will make the resolve of the 
American people to overcome these challenges clearer still.
