              WEAR RED WEDNESDAYS TO 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, today is Wear Red Wednesday to 
Bring Back Our Girls.
  The news Monday of Boko Haram using two girls as suicide bombers to 
kill 30 people in northern Nigeria reminds us yet again why we must act 
now. Please cosponsor House Resolution 147, as amended, to help the 
Nigerian Government bring back our girls and defeat Boko Haram.
  Tomorrow, Congressman Smith, chairman of the Subcommittee on Africa, 
Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations, 
and I will host a classified briefing from the State Department. I 
invite you to join in this briefing on the future of Nigeria.
  Today, I welcome 38 young girls from Camp Congress for Girls. Please 
join me on the Capitol steps after the first series of votes to take a 
group picture with these wonderful little girls. They are from all over 
the country. They are helping in the fight against Boko Haram, and they 
are in the gallery today.
  Don't forget to tweet, tweet, tweet, #bringbackourgirls. Tweet, 
tweet, tweet, #joinrepwilson.
