Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to announce that I am going to cosponsor H.R. 4169, the Sudan Security, Peace, and Accountability Act.

I'm doing this, Mr. Speaker, because it has been called to our attention that there are atrocities still taking place in Sudan. People are suffering, people are dying, and there is a possibility of a humanitarian crisis developing. This bill will allow sanctions to be imposed.

I would also like to thank Mr. George Clooney and his father for calling these atrocities to our attention.

I hope to say more about this in the days to come.
