                            NEVER SURRENDER

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, last week we debated the very important issue 
of how we are going to confront the global war on terror: Are we going 
to confront this challenge, or are we going to retreat and defeat? 
Republicans are dedicated to confronting this challenge and will 
continue to offer the American strong national security policies that 
will protect this Nation against another attack on their own soil. We 
will continue to trumpet successes such as the elimination of al 
Zarqawi and the Iraqi Government naming new interior defense and 
security ministers.
  Democrats, though, are too eager to grasp upon the challenges we face 
as their rationale to defeat. Even the death of the terrorist al 
Zarqawi only brought cries of retreat and claims that it was only ``a 
stunt.'' And just last week, 149 Democrats voted against a resolution 
declaring that the United States will prevail in the war on terror.
  Mr. Speaker, President Kennedy once said, ``The cost of freedom is 
always high, but Americans have always paid it, and one path we shall 
never choose and that is the path of surrender or submission.''
  When it comes to the global war on terror, we must never choose the 
path of surrender.
