I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I thank my friend and fellow Texan, Representative Conaway, who represents the family, for introducing this important resolution. I have engaged the highest levels of government in this case, Trevor's case, from Deputy Secretary Biegun to Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, Roger Carstens. And now I am proud to join many of my colleagues and fellow Texans from both sides of the aisle in supporting this resolution and raising more awareness about Trevor's case. So to Trevor and the Reed family, I would just like to say to you that Texas is with you and America is with you. We will stand by you and with you here in the Congress every day until we finally bring Trevor home. So, again, Mr. Speaker, I thank my dear friend, Congressman Conaway, who sponsored the legislation. I thank Chairman Engel. Another point of personal privilege: I think that this will not be the last day we speak on the floor. I believe on Monday we will have another opportunity to be together, and I would love to deliver some special remarks about my favorite chairman. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Enough! There has been too much suffering, too many lives lost, and far, far too little done to stop the carnage.
