         CRIME BILL SHOULD CONTAIN MORE PRISONS AND MORE POLICE

  (Mr. EVERETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, I, like many around this place, have not 
the foggiest notion of what will actually happen with the crime bill. 
But, if the sequel is anything like the original, I will do my 
darnedest to make sure that there is a vote on a crime bill III.
  Because you see, crime remains and will remain No. 1 at the box 
office of America's concern until we--as a responsible institution--
acknowledge the difference between a crime bill and a political slush 
fund.
  Mr. Speaker, a crime bill has nothing to do with social engineering, 
pork barreling, or appropriating funds for key Presidential swing-vote 
States. It does--however sad to say--have everything to do with prisons 
and police.
