    OUR GOAL SHOULD BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITHOUT PHONY U.N. 
                 RESOLUTIONS INTERFERING IN THE PROCESS

  (Mr. HORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, the United Nations is at it again. In the 
United Nations there is a resolution coming to strongly condemn the 
massacre of Palestinians in Hebron by one crazed soul. That might be 
understandable. Although, one might ask: When did the United Nations 
last condemn any massacre of Israelis? And that massacre would 
generally have been sponsored by a foreign government. It would not 
have been the actions of one man. In fact, when did the United Nations 
last condemn a massacre by an individual?
  But what is really disturbing is that Mr. Arafat has told the 
American Secretary of State that he will not go back to the peace table 
unless Jerusalem is mentioned in the resolution. That is utter 
nonsense. Mr. Arafat is simply trying to change the already agreed upon 
process to serve his own ends.
  President Clinton should instruct his Ambassador to the United 
Nations to veto any United Nations resolution which mentions Jerusalem 
and interferes with the debate that should properly occur at the peace 
table.
  Let the parties make peace at the bargaining table without phony 
resolutions from the United Nations intruding on the process.
