     THE WAR ON TERROR AND OFFERING SYMPATHY TO THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT

  (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. Mr. Speaker, as we did just 2 weeks ago and 
then just 4 days ago on behalf of the people of London to offer them 
our sympathy for the tragedy of another terrorist attack, I rise today 
to offer my sympathy to the people of Egypt, who have experienced an 
enormous tragedy over the last couple of days.
  Militant terrorists have terrorized a tourist area where Americans 
and many others from around the world come in harmony to enjoy summer 
vacation. This should tell us that we are united and should be united 
in the war on terror. The war on terror does not have a face, and it 
does not discriminate. It does not distinguish. It is attacking people 
of goodwill around the world.
  My sympathies to President Mubarak, who stood fast and said that, as 
the terrorists acted in Egypt, they were going to find them and bring 
them to justice.
  This is the kind of war on terror that we need to join hands with 
people from around the world. We are not losing the battle, but we need 
all of the help that we possibly can get; and our focus should be 
united around those terrorists who do not have country, do not have 
mind, do not have care, and are attacking people from everywhere all 
over the world.
  We need to stand united against the war on terror.
