                    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN WAYNE GACY

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks).
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, for all those bleeding hearts who say 
that John Wayne Gacy experienced cruel and unusual punishment, check 
this out. Gacy executed 33 young men, buried most of them in a crawl 
space underneath his kitchen. One victim who escaped said he begged 
Gacy to kill him rather than to torture him.
  Ladies and gentlemen, those who say that Gacy should be put in jail 
for life are part of the problem in America. John Wayne Gacy deserved 
to be executed. It should have been 10 years ago. Congress should be 
saying today, ``Good night, sweet prince, you earned it.''
  For everybody concerned about John Wayne Gacy and cruel and unusual 
punishment, what about the 33 victims, Congress? What about those 33 
victims?
