                        STOP BRUTALITY IN SUDAN

  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. First, Mr. Speaker, I was going to speak 
about the outrage of the faulty intelligence analysis given to the 
American people and to this Congress about weapons of mass destruction 
in Iraq. But I think it is appropriate, to save lives, to condemn the 
nation of Sudan, recognizing the pillaging, ravaging and brutality of 
women and children and families; the burning of African villages; the 
ethnic cleansing; the genocide that is going on in Sudan; the complete 
murder and collapse of government; the fact that women are terrorized 
every day, men are killed, and people cannot live in a decent way of 
life.
  It is time for the government in Khartoum to be condemned. It is time 
to recognize that the United Nations has to stop this terrible ethnic 
cleansing and genocide, for we will be reminded of Rwanda where a 
million died. They are dying daily by the thousands in Sudan. It is 
time now for us in this Congress to join together with people of good 
will around the world to stop the murder and condemn it and demand of 
Khartoum, the Government of Sudan, to be able to stand up against 
Janjaweed and the Muslim killers that are killing African Muslims.
  It is a disgrace. It is an outrage. We must stand together against 
this brutality.
