                         GET REAL, MR. ARISTIDE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Jean-Bertrand Aristide is upset. He is 
upset with the deal helped developed by former President Carter. He 
says General Cedras will have too much time. I say unbelievable and it 
is time for Jean-Bertrand Aristide to get real. While America is 
spending a half a billion dollars over there to help straighten out 
Haiti, we have 40 million Americans without health care. American 
workers are absolutely worried about their next paycheck, how they are 
going to pay their mortgage off. I say enough is enough. Maybe Congress 
should hand Aristide an M-16 rifle and have him take care of business 
for himself.
  One thing for sure is Congress should be using these billions of 
dollars to take care of the problems in America where democracy is 
passing over an awful lot of Americans. Think about it.
