                          BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, in April, nearly 300 Nigerian 
schoolgirls were kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram. As late 
as yesterday, there are reports of more abductions.
  I listened in horror as the Nigerian Government announced it has 
completed its inquiry in the April abduction and has little progress to 
report. This means these girls remain in the hands of Boko Haram. Boko 
Haram has emerged as a well-armed insurrection, with a growing thirst 
for blood, and the government has no plan to take action. This is 
unconscionable.
  The government's failure to rescue the girls and protect them has 
sparked international outrage and launched the Bring Back Our Girls 
movement dedicated to the support and rescue of the girls.
  We must keep pressure on the Nigerian Government until the girls are 
safely returned to their families.
  Please join our Tweet war every day, 9 a.m. to noon, 
#bringbackourgirls and #joinrepwilson. Tweet, tweet, tweet ``Bring Back 
Our Girls.''
