BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 384, ``Condemning in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on July 23, 2005.''

I wish to express my condolences to the families of those killed in last week's terrorist attacks, and my sympathy to those injured in the bombings. I would also like to join with Presdient's George W. Bush in expressing the solidarity of the people and government of the United States with the people and government of Egypt. The United States stands ready to support the Egyptian authorities in their efforts to bring to justice those responsible for these cowardly attacks.

These attacks, again, make plain the fact that the Global War on Terrorism is not a way of the West against the Muslim world but a war being fought between those who value freedom and democracy and respect for human rights and those who kill innocent civilians.

Egypt is a friend and ally of the United States. The people of the United States stand by the people of Egypt at this time tragedy.
