                           NATIONAL SECURITY

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, Democrats have 
stepped up the fight against terrorists and are getting real results 
that make Americans safe. Democrats are strengthening our security by 
restoring America's global leadership. We have ended torture. We are 
working with our allies and are getting countries like Pakistan to 
cooperate in the fight against terrorism. We have increased funding for 
counterintelligence activities and human intelligence collection. We 
have enhanced cybersecurity efforts and bolstered aviation, ports, and 
border security.
  We are ensuring troops, veterans, and their families have the support 
they need on the battlefield and when they come home. That means state-
of-the-art equipment and body armor and mine-resistant vehicles that 
they need to bring them home safely. And we have also made historic 
investments in our veterans' health care and improved the benefits they 
have earned when they return home. And we passed a GI Bill for a new 
generation so that our troops and their family members will have access 
to a quality education.
  Mr. Speaker, Democrats are making America stronger.
