              UNCOVERING SADDAM HUSSEIN'S LEGACY OF TERROR

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, in cooperation with the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter), the Committee on Armed Services 
chairman, I recently sent every Member of the House a copy of ``Iraq's 
Legacy of Terror: Mass Graves,'' a report that highlights the worst 
human rights atrocity of Saddam Hussein's regime. Hundreds of thousands 
of murdered Iraqis, including women holding their children with bullet 
holes, lie in at least 270 mass grave sites around the country.
  Saddam's mass graves represent a crime against humanity surpassed in 
scope only by the World War II Nazi Holocaust, Pol Pot's Cambodian 
communist killing fields in the 1970s, and the Rwandan genocide in 
1994. Thanks to the leadership of President Bush and the valor of the 
American military, along with our international allies, Iraqis no 
longer live in fear of Saddam's brutal regime. Today, the Coalition 
Provisional Authority is working with thousands of Iraqi families to 
identify and rebury their loved ones.
  In conclusion, may God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
