              MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR RETURN OF AUSTIN TICE

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I am on a mission of mercy. I 
have a constituent who is missing in Syria. He is the son of Marc and 
Debra Tice. His name is Austin Tice.
  On August 11, 2012, he celebrated his 31st birthday in Syria. On 
August 13, he was reported missing. He is a graduate of Georgetown 
University, and he was there pursuing his career in journalism.
  Mr. Speaker, his parents are gravely concerned, and we are asking 
anyone with any information concerning this young man, Austin Tice, to 
please contact the FBI hotline at 1 (800) 225-5324, repeating 1 (800) 
225-5324. My number is (202) 225-7508.
  I would like to now have a moment of silence for his return.
