                      THE BEAR THAT HAS EVERYTHING

  (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, sometimes you got the bear and sometimes 
the bear has got you. A zoo in New York is spending $25,000 to cure a 
neurotic bear. That is right, zoo officials said the neuroses of this 
carnivore is unbearable. A $1 million environment with sloped walls, a 
special pool, a cave, inflatable toys, new teddies, everything, 
including medication. This bear is on Prozac.
  Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker, when a bear has a $1 million environment, 
free health care, free home, free drugs, and Congress cuts Head Start 
and education. That says it all. Beam me up.
