                                 SUDAN

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, Sudan--genocide--killing. Many of the 
household names once engaged on Sudan have moved on to the next cause 
while the refrain ``never again'' echoes faintly, but the desperation 
in Darfur's camps is still a reality.
  The CPA which ended Khartoum's brutal 20-year civil war with the 
south where 2.1 million perished--and where mainly Christians died--
hangs in the balance. Against this backdrop, the administration's 
policy is languishing.
  There is an immediate need for renewed, principled leadership on 
Sudan at the highest levels--leadership which is clear-eyed about the 
history of the internationally indicted war criminal at the helm in 
Khartoum. These are the people who gave safe haven to Osama bin Laden 
from 1991 to 1996.
  President Obama must empower Secretary Clinton and Ambassador Rice to 
take control of this faltering policy. Time is running out. Lives hang 
in the balance. A stalemate policy in Sudan is not an option. President 
Obama must act.
