                           LET OUR PEOPLE GO

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, this is a day that I am here to commemorate 
the 40th anniversary of the adjournment of the last Republican 
Congress. Do you know that ever since that day we have been trying to 
put square pegs in round holes? And that is exactly what we have been 
doing here now for well over a week on a bill we call a crime bill.
  Really, this bill is nothing but the social spending agenda of the 
majority party, called a crime bill. It will do nothing to make our 
streets safer.
  This morning we are here, and we should be home with our families, we 
should be home listening to our constituents about crime and health 
care.
  Mr. Speaker, I challenge the majority party, let your members go, let 
them go home and find out what America is talking about, and you will 
come back with a lot more realistic attitude toward legislation in this 
body.
