GRAPHIC BROCHURES RULED UNFIT FOR PRINTING IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
(Mr. HANCOCK asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. HANCOCK. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, during my 1-minute speech, I
asked unanimous consent that materials be placed in the Congressional
Record. I was informed by the Parliamentarian that they were
inappropriate for insertion into the Record. Given their near-
pornographic nature, I cannot blame the Parliamentarian for his
decision.
What are these items? They are graphic brochures designed to instruct
and entice young people in homosexual sex acts. These same brochures--
masquerading as AIDS education--were made available at a New York City
youth AIDS conference to students as young as 12. This conference was
sponsored by the New York State Department of Education.
This is exactly the type of prohomosexual propaganda the Hancock
amendment to H.R. 6 is targeting.
If this is not fit for the Congressional Record, it is certainly not
fit for grade-school, junior high, and high school students. I urge
Members to support my amendment upon our return from Easter break, and
oppose any attempts to weaken it.
