                    U.S. TREATMENT OF JOHN DEMJANJUK

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Last year, Mr. Speaker, a Federal appeals court ruled 
that John Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible. The court also ruled 
that the Justice Department perpetrated a fraud on the courts and on 
American constitutional rights by withholding key evidence that would 
have exonerated Demjanjuk and that with reckless disregard for the 
Constitution proceeded with the prosecution with a win-at-any-cost-type 
attitude.

                              {time}  1010

  Shame, Congress, shame.
  And yesterday the Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court, 
not against Demjanjuk, let us tell it like it is, but to save their own 
behinds. They are circling their wagons. They know they broke the law.
  The Justice Department is guilty, ladies and gentlemen. My 
investigation proved that Demjanjuk is not Ivan, and the court of 
appeals certified that he is not Ivan, and shame, Congress, when the 
Supreme Court of Israel has to enforce the Constitution of the United 
States and save the life of an American citizen.
  By the way, Congress, Germany told Israel that that Trawnicki I.D. 
card is a forgery.
  Israel did not send him back for any other reason. Think about it.
  What happened to the Constitution? What happened to Congress?
