 URGING MEMBERS TO SIGN THE DISCHARGE PETITION ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY 
                         OWNERS' BILL OF RIGHTS

  (Mr. DICKEY asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DICKEY. Mr. Speaker, the private property owner's bill of rights 
has been presented to this body, and I want to stand firmly behind it.
  For 203 years we have seen the rights of private property owners in 
America being eroded, taken away, restricted, and frustrated. We have 
now a movement afoot to make sure that when the Government comes and 
takes property, that it must pay for it or it should leave the private 
property owners alone.
  We have a discharge petition in this body, and I urge the Members of 
this body to sign the discharge petition so we can get the private 
property owners' bill of rights on this floor and before this body and 
pass it, so we can protect the individual property rights of the people 
of the United States.
