                           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.
  Boko Haram has been declared the world's deadliest terrorist 
organization. Boko Haram has actually murdered more people than ISIS. 
This means that Boko Haram's attacks are more lethal and more 
devastating than anything we have seen in the history of modern 
terrorism.
  Mr. Speaker, Boko Haram's January attack on Baga was the second 
deadliest terrorist attack in modern history after 9/11. An 
organization capable of this level of death and destruction must be 
eradicated.
  I urge Congress to pass my bill, H.R. 3833, which would require the 
U.S. Government to develop a regional strategy to assist Nigeria in 
defeating Boko Haram. Please continue to tweet, tweet, tweet 
#bringbackourgirls and remember to wear something red tomorrow, 
Wednesday, a tie, a pin, a flower. Just wear something red and tweet, 
tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls, #joinrepwilson. Tweet, tweet, tweet.
