                        CRIME BILL IS PORK LADEN

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, do we want $7,000 million more in 
pork? I hope everybody gets that, $7,000 million more in pork. The 
compromise bill is going to provide $7,000 million more in pork. They 
are going to have two social workers for every new policeman put on the 
street. Not 100,000 new policemen, 20,000 spread across the country, 
but there are going to be 2 new social workers out there watching 
midnight basketball and everything else trying to solve our crime 
problems, when what we really need are more policemen, more prisons, 
and strong sentences to take these people off the street to protect 
Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a pork laden giveaway program that the American 
people simply do not want. We ought to kill this turkey.
