Statement by Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Leading a Congressional Delegation to Tunisia
Tunis, May 6-8, 2016

We applaud Tunisia for its democratic leadership, and our delegation sends a strong message on behalf of the U.S. Congress and the American people:   you are a close ally, and you have our support. Our nations face a common enemy, and we will meet the threat with resolve and purpose. We will not bow down to terrorists. Instead the United States and Tunisia will continue to work together to defeat extremists and to light the way towards freedom and stability in the region. I thank President Caid Essebsi and Prime Minister Habib Essid for their kindness and leadership, and we look forward to working with them in the future.

Members of the Delegation:

Representative Michael McCaul
Senator John Cornyn
Representative Bill Keating
Representative Pete Sessions
Representative Kathleen Rice

Representative David Valadao
