             MANY REPUBLICAN MAYORS SUPPORT THE CRIME BILL

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, we ought not to believe that this is solely a 
partisan debate because of the number of Republicans who have come to 
the well and said they are opposed to this bill. Let me read a list; 
all Republicans, all mayors, all on the front line of fighting crime in 
America.
  The Republican mayor of Knoxville, for the crime bill; the Republican 
mayor of Los Angeles, one of the great victories that the Republicans 
claim, Mayor Riordan, for the crime bill; Mayor Mystrum of Anchorage, 
AL, for the crime bill; this crime bill; the Republican mayor of 
Newark, for this crime bill; the Republican mayor of Scotsdale, AZ, for 
this crime bill; the Republican mayor of Dayton, for this crime bill; 
the Republican mayor of Palatine, IL, for this crime bill; the 
Republican mayor of Columbus, for this crime bill; the Republican mayor 
of Lincoln, NE, for this crime bill; the Republican mayor of Fort 
Wayne, IN, for this crime bill; the Republican mayor of Jefferson City, 
for this crime bill; and the Republican mayor of New York City, former 
prosecutor, Giuliani, for this crime bill.
