                             WAR ON TERROR

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, there have been many reminders across the 
world recently of why we and the global community must maintain our 
commitment to fighting terror.
  From the 1-year anniversary of the horrific bombings in London to the 
upcoming 5-year anniversary of September 11, we are constantly reminded 
of why our resolve and perseverance are crucial. America has shown the 
world that a strong, vibrant Nation faced with adversity can come 
together, unlike any nation on Earth. America has distinguished itself 
as the shining beacon of democracy throughout the world. When attacked, 
and freedom is in danger, we have proven that freedom will prevail.
  Madam Speaker, I want to commend our troops for their sacrifice, 
their dedication and their bravery. They are freeing people from 
oppression so they may enjoy the same freedoms that Americans cherish. 
They are fighting a global war on terror, and they are winning
