                CONDEMNING ATTACK ON IRANIAN DISSIDENTS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of Judge Poe's House 
Resolution 89, condemning the terrorist attack on February 9, 2013, at 
Camp Liberty in Iraq and requesting the prompt and safe return of the 
residents to Camp Ashraf.
  This attack has demonstrated that the living conditions of the 
residents are being threatened and their safety is in jeopardy.
  The United States needs to help facilitate the return of the 
residents for their own protection to Camp Ashraf, located also in 
Iraq, where they have safer facilities and a better infrastructure that 
may sustain future attacks--yes, future attacks. According to press 
reports, Mr. Speaker, the Iranian Quds Force intends to attack Camp 
Liberty again with rockets and mortars.
  Mr. Speaker, time is of the essence. I urge the U.S. House of 
Representatives to debate the Poe bill on the floor immediately due to 
the urgent humanitarian situation that the residents are facing.
