                        ATTACK ON U.S. CONSULATE

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, just 1 day after the 11th anniversary of the 
September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States of America, sadly 
the American flag flies at half staff today at the U.S. Capitol once 
again following the senseless and tragic attack against our U.S. 
consulate in Libya, which left four patriotic Embassy workers laying 
dead.
  Among those murdered include American Ambassador Christopher Stevens, 
marking one of the rare moments in U.S. history where a U.S. Ambassador 
is killed representing our Nation abroad. This type of cowardly and 
brutal attack is an outrage, and those responsible should be swiftly 
brought to justice.
  The service of Ambassador Stevens and three other embassy staff will 
not be forgotten as their service represents everything that our 
country stands for in promoting peace and democracy and liberty for all 
peoples across the globe.
  Mr. Speaker, God bless the brave men and women who serve our country 
everywhere, and God bless the United States of America.
