I support this underlying resolution, and I just like to say that I would hope that we could have soon some resolution like this on the floor for the country of Sudan that I just returned from an 8-day trip, where 2 million people lost their lives and there is hardly any publicity about it, there is hardly any press about it, there is hardly anybody in the world that really cares about it. It just breaks your heart to see so many children and mothers that are dying from starvation, and to walk into and see killing fields where people have absolutely been shot, killed, hacked up with knives, being eaten by vultures. We talk about all these countries of the world, but there are so many countries where millions of people died and there is never a squawk out of this Congress. So I hope that some day we can start putting Sudan on the map.
