                    INSTALL DEMOCRACY, NOT ARISTIDE

  (Mr. COX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COX. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the remarks just 
made by my colleague from Colorado and my other colleague from Colorado 
preceding him.
  President Bill Clinton, Warran Christopher, Madeleine Albright have 
all told us, they have announced publicly, they intend to invade Haiti 
upon the authorization of the United Nations, but not the authorization 
of the United States Congress. Why? Why is Bill Clinton willing to seek 
a vote of the United Nations but unwilling to seek a vote of the 
Congress?
  The answer is because while he claims that the purpose is to restore 
democracy to Haiti, the stated objective is to restore the Marxist 
demagog, John Bertrand Aristide. Just before the erratic Mr. Aristide 
was ousted, he made the following speech in support of necklacing, the 
necklacing of his opponents, burning them to death by giving them a 
necklace filled with gasoline and setting it afire.
  He said, ``What a nice tool. What a nice instrument. What a nice 
device. It is a pretty one. It is elegant, attractive, splendorous, 
graceful, and dazzling. It smells good. Wherever you go, you feel like 
smelling it.''
  Mr. Speaker, if put to a vote, the U.S. Congress will not support a 
policy based on installing Aristide instead of installing democracy.
