                           WEAR RED WEDNESDAY

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Wear Red Wednesday to 
Bring Back Our Girls.
  This month President Obama announced he will deploy 300 troops to 
Cameroon to help with the fight against the ISIS-linked terrorist 
organization, Boko Haram. These American troops will provide vital 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support to the 
multinational regional coalition fighting Boko Haram.
  I applaud the President's commitment to rooting out and destroying 
radical terrorism in the region. This newly announced aid could be a 
turning point in the fight against Boko Haram.
  Mr. Speaker, until the precious Chibok girls are returned, we will 
continue to wear red and continue to tweet, tweet, tweet. Continue to 
tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. Tweet, tweet, tweet 
#joinrepwilson.
