                      INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

  (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, what version of the Constitution will 
Congress endorse today, the Son of Sam version or the mom and dad 
version? Will it be government by threat, government by fear, or will 
we get back to government by due process?
  I am talking about the Internal Revenue Service, ladies and 
gentlemen, because when the Internal Revenue Service points a finger 
and accuses a taxpayer of fraud, you are guilty and you have got to go 
to court and prove you are innocent. But the Son of Sam, a serial 
killer, is innocent, and the burden of proof is on the government.
  Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen. It is time to take the 
Constitution and the Bill of Rights back. Sign Discharge Petition No. 
12. A taxpayer in America should get the same constitutional protection 
that at least a serial killer gets.
  Think about it.
