                          PASS THE CRIME BILL

  (Mr. OLVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLVER. Mr. Speaker, life does not offer many second chances, but 
this weekend we are going to get a second chance. We get a second 
chance to help our communities fight crime, prevent crime, by finally 
passing a crime bill. Without the crime bill families would not get 
this chance to have more cops in their neighborhoods. Women in abusive 
situations will not get this chance to break out of it. Kids will not 
get this chance for help to reject gangs and drugs.
  Mr. Speaker, this weekend we get our second chance. Let us not blow 
it. Vote for more cops in our communities, for safety, for women and 
for hope for our kids. Pass the crime bill.
