                 THE TERRORIST ATTACKS IN MUMBAI, INDIA

  (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. In the recent week, we watched in horror as 
terrorists, criminals, and people who are uncaring attacked the 
innocent people of Mumbai, India--a band of 10, attacking innocent 
persons in hotels, traveling to hospitals and to train stations, going 
to the Chabad religious community and killing recklessly.
  Mr. Speaker, this should be a signal that we have to join together to 
again confront those who would terrorize the world. I know that this is 
going to be a place of conflict--Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India--but 
it is important for us to recognize that the people of India want 
peace, the people of Pakistan want peace, and the Bangladesh want 
peace, and the people in the Mid-East want peace. But we must weed out 
those who would terrorize us. We need to join together in the effort of 
stamping out terrorism and meanwhile continue to secure the homeland.
