              ON PREVENTING TERRORISM IN THE UNITED STATES

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, last year four terrorists bombed the 
World Trade Center, 6 Americans were killed, over 1,000 Americans were 
wounded. News reports today are now breaking saying that these four 
terrorists will get life imprisonment without parole, life imprisonment 
without parole.
  Tell me, America, who is being punished? These four creeps, or the 
Americans taxpayers who will pay $50,000 per criminal in prison per 
year--$200,000 a year to keep these creeps alive?
  I think it is time, Congress, to stretch their necks. And I believe, 
further, that Phil Donahue should be allowed to broadcast it overseas 
so that every terrorist could see that if you kill an American citizen, 
Congress is going to stretch your neck. They have had it.
  Think about it.
