“on June 25, 1996, a terrorist bomb attack against a government housing compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, resulted in the death of 19 American service members and the wounding of 200 others. This attack demonstrated that terrorism directed against Americans is a continuing threat, and that our men and women in uniform are often at great risk because of the nature of their mission. Today the House has before it House Concurrent Resolution 200, a bill authored by my colleague and valued member of the House Committee on National Security, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Scarborough], that recognizes and honors the ultimate sacrifice paid by the 19 American service members who died in this cowardly attack. I believe this bill is a fitting tribute for the House to make, and I urge my colleagues to support it.”
