         AMERICA'S SMART AND STRONG NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY

  (Mr. PETERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PETERS. Madam Speaker, May 1 marked the 5-year anniversary of the 
SEAL Team 6 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
  As co-chair of the Special Operations Forces Caucus, I commend the 
targeted approach of our intelligence agencies and our special 
operators who brought this terrorist to justice. The success of that 
raid showed our enemies that America will not stop until those who 
threaten our safety are eliminated.
  Now we are facing a new and dynamic threat to our security in the 
form of ISIS, and last week we were reminded of the sacrifices of our 
servicemembers when Charles Keating IV, a Coronado-based Navy SEAL, was 
killed on the front lines of this fight.
  Just as we did 5 years ago, we must act decisively to destroy this 
threat, to support our men and women in uniform, and to keep Americans 
safe by following a smart and strong national security strategy that 
eliminates ISIS.
