I thank Congressman Mfume for his sterling remarks. His presence here adds enormous value to what we are attempting to do, to stop war, to promote diplomacy and peace, and to help protect a David against a Goliath. This is a very noble calling. As we close today, I want to say for the record, for teachers who may be listening, for scholars, for other Members of Congress, there is a book by Dr. Timothy Snyder of Yale University titled ``Bloodlands.'' If you want to understand the struggle for liberty, that is a book that is a must-read. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
