                       CASTRO'S CUBA 30 YEARS OLD

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk about two things. 
First of all, this week was my 32d wedding anniversary, and my husband 
said the only thing that has been around as long as our marriage was 
the United States Cuban policy. I am pleased to see that the President 
changed that. I think it is very important that Cuban immigrants be 
treated the same as every other immigrant and we took away that special 
benefit that anyone could come into this country so that Castro could 
control our immigration policy, rather than ourselves. I am proud that 
the President took control.


                         a crime bill minibus?

  I want to also add, about the crime bill, that we have been home, we 
have been talking to people. They do want something done about crime. 
The biggest problem we are having with the crime bill is they want so 
much done about crime, we have this big omnibus crime bill. Maybe it 
should not be so big. Maybe it should have been a minibus, but we got 
an omnibus one because we are trying to get prisons and help to build 
up the prisons and the laws. I hope everybody stays, and I hope we will 
finish, or we will really hear it from the people.
