                      WINNING THE WAR ON TERRORISM

  (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, while traveling by bus 
through the 10 counties of South Carolina's Second Congressional 
District last month, I spoke with constituents about the resolve of 
America for victory in the global war on terrorism. I repeatedly heard 
that we must maintain our resolve for winning this war to protect 
American families.
  As several recent successes prove, we are winning the war on 
terrorism. Nine men suspected of plotting a terrorist attack in Denmark 
have been arrested. British police detained 14 people suspected of 
operating terrorist training camps. Iraqi authorities arrested the 
number two al Qaeda murderer in Iraq. U.S. and British authorities 
stopped a plot to target U.S.-bound airplanes. Germany and India foiled 
terrorist attacks in their homelands.
  Countries that were reluctant to join with us in the war on terrorism 
are learning they cannot escape its effects. This is not just a war 
against America; this is a war against all freedom-loving nations.
  With four sons in the military, I am grateful for the dedication of 
American servicemembers symbolized by the heroism of CPL David Weimortz 
of Irmo.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
