            H.R. 3650, ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in the calamity of news 
reports proliferating across America regarding the epidemic proportions 
of child sexual abuse, I introduce Zero Tolerance For Child Sexual 
Abuse, H.R. 3650. I ask my colleagues to join me for a national 
statement of abhorring and standing against the abuse of our children.
  On a much happier topic, I thank our leader for her comments on our 
returning troops, and I look forward to introducing a resolution 
thanking and congratulating our returning troops, having one day or two 
days in which our Members will join me in wearing a yellow ribbon and, 
as well, commemorating the return of our wonderful troops and thanking 
their families from wherever they have come for this holiday season.
  What greater gift than the men and women who have served on the front 
lines to honor us by their presence here in the holiday season. Our 
message should be ``no silent State, no silent neighborhood, no silent 
community'' in reference to honoring them as they come home.
