Madam Speaker, as a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, I rise today to thank all of the brave individuals who were able to quickly capture the Times Square alleged bomber who was attempting to kill many in the United States--from the vendor who noticed and said that his motto is, for the American people, ``If you see, tell someone''; to the law enforcement officers, the mounties on horses; to the SWAT team and the fire department that was part of making sure it did not go off; and certainly to the people of New York.
