  (Mr. HASTINGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, they are slaying nuns now in Rwanda.
  The anarchy is in its 10th week. Eighty-eight priests have been 
killed. People are starving, dislocated, homeless, and terrified.
  They are migrating to neighboring countries to escape the slaughter, 
only to find that these countries can't even feed and house their own.
  We are doing nothing. Speaking, perhaps, a little, of our outrage. 
But we seem powerless.
  Cosponsor H.R. 453. Condemn the genocide, and maybe we can motivate 
the world and the United Nations.
