                       NAVY SEALS 1--BIN LADEN--0

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, Osama bin Laden has met his maker, 
and we appreciate the Navy SEALs for arranging the meeting, but 
Pakistan gives us some concern. It seems like Pakistan might be playing 
both sides, and they have a lot of explaining to do.
  For all these years, we believed that Osama bin Laden was on the run, 
living in a cave; but, apparently, Satan's Pawn has been living for 
years in a million-dollar compound just yards away from a Pakistani 
military base, but Pakistan claims no knowledge of Osama bin Laden's 
whereabouts. I just don't buy it.
  I've introduced a bill that would require Congress and the American 
people to get a full understanding of what Pakistan knew about bin 
Laden's whereabouts and when they knew it, before we give them any more 
American money. Congress has already appropriated $3 billion in aid to 
Pakistan for this year; and unless Pakistan can prove that they were 
not providing sanctuary for America's number one enemy, they should not 
receive any American aid.
  And that's just the way it is.
