      THE PLO HAS YET TO CONDEMN RECENT ATTACKS ON INNOCENT PEOPLE

  (Mr. DEUTSCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, this morning six people were killed, and 
dozens injured, including several children, when a bomb planted by an 
Islamic fundamentalist group, Hamas, exploded in the back of a crowded 
bus in Hadera, Israel.
  Last week a suicide car bomb, also a member of Hamas, bombed a bus in 
Afula, Israel.
  This is part of that bus, from 1,000 feet away. This is part of that 
bus, from 1,000 feet away. And this was used to clean up some of the 
remains of those who had blown more than 1,000 feet from where the bus 
was exploded.
  It has been more than 1 week since these incidents, the first 
incident, occurred. The PLO and Chairman Arafat have yet to condemn 
these types of attacks on innocents.
  There is a letter circulating by Members of Congress to Chairman 
Arafat demanding, requesting, that, if we have a peace process, killing 
of innocent lives by any party is unacceptable. That is something that 
must occur if we are going to see peace in that region of the world.
