                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 6, 2011

  Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate President Obama, his 
national security team and the members of our armed forces for the 
recent operation that led to the capture and killing of Al Qaeda's 
leader, Osama Bin Laden. The operation was conducted in an extremely 
professional manner and I am pleased that, nearly a decade after the 
tragedy of September 11, justice has finally been served.
  While the fight against terrorism will continue and our military 
forces remain in harm's way, for a moment, Americans can proudly mark 
the demise of this symbol of hatred who died with the blood of 
thousands on his hands. This is a tremendous victory for America and a 
promise kept to the families of the 9-11 victims. I congratulate 
everyone involved in this important, historic mission.
