                       THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT DIE

  (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, as a member of the House Committee on 
International Relations, I rise to express a word of humble welcome to 
one of freedom's men in the former Soviet Union, President Viktor 
Yushchenko of Ukraine, who addressed a joint session of Congress just 
moments ago.
  Like the democracy's Orange Revolution that he personifies, President 
Yushchenko is the man who would not die. He survived the toxic 
machinations of those who see freedom as a threat. And those wicked men 
were right: freedom in the Ukraine and their brave President are a 
threat to every form of tyranny against the minds of men and women in 
that ancient land.
  It is all together fitting that the capital of democracy on planet 
Earth welcomed one of its first 21st century heroes to these hallowed 
halls.
