    NORTH KOREA IS A ROGUE STATE LUSTING FOR INTERNATIONAL MISCHIEF

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as Peyton Manning and the Denver 
Broncos celebrated their Super Bowl win, around 8:27 California time, a 
North Korean satellite passed in space over the stadium.
  What is next? Before long, it could be an intercontinental ballistic 
missile with a nuclear warhead headed for some American city.
  Mr. Speaker, this is not some wacky idea out of a Hollywood movie. On 
January 6, the North Koreans tested a more advanced nuclear bomb that 
could kill even more people than the nuclear bomb they already have. 
Last Saturday, North Korea conducted a rocket launch to try to develop 
a ballistic missile that could hit the United States.
  The North Koreans also support Hezbollah, work with Iran on missile 
development, hacked Sony Entertainment, kidnapped an American college 
student and put him in jail, and there is much more.
  Mr. Speaker, North Korea is a rogue state lusting for international 
mischief. It is time to put them back on the State Sponsors of 
Terrorism list before Super Bowl LI takes place in my hometown of 
Houston, Texas.
  And that is just the way it is.
