                    CAPTURE, DEMISE, AND RETALIATION

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. In the last 24 hours, we heard of the 
devastating attack in Pakistan and the words of the Taliban saying that 
it's in retaliation for the capture and demise of Osama bin Laden.
  Earlier this week, I introduced H. Res. 240 to acknowledge all of 
those who sacrificed their lives to be able to go into battle to find 
Osama bin Laden, the intelligence community, President Obama, President 
Clinton, President Bush, with President Obama directing this very, 
very, very difficult mission and, as well, the brave men and women who 
participated and the Navy SEALs who went in and came out alive.
  But we must realize that we live in a very difficult time, and that 
time is a time of attack and retaliation. We will not be daunted, and 
we will stand in place to be able to celebrate those who are brave 
enough to fight this war on terror.
  To the people of Pakistan, we offer our sympathy. We will continue to 
work together for the betterment of those who believe in democratic 
values.
