      THANKING THOSE INVOLVED IN STOPPING THE TIMES SQUARE BOMBER

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, as a member of the House 
Homeland Security Committee, I rise today to thank all of the brave 
individuals who were able to quickly capture the Times Square alleged 
bomber who was attempting to kill many in the United States--from the 
vendor who noticed and said that his motto is, for the American people, 
``If you see, tell someone''; to the law enforcement officers, the 
mounties on horses; to the SWAT team and the fire department that was 
part of making sure it did not go off; and certainly to the people of 
New York.
  I also want to thank the Obama administration, the Attorney General, 
and Homeland Security, and, in particular, before we start asking 
questions about the no-fly list and the TSA, let's get the facts. But 
we do know that we are going to have more homegrown terrorists. America 
now has to look very seriously, as we have done, at securing America. 
All of us are now involved.
