                 MAKING FAMILY PLANNING CLINICS SECURE

  (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, a little later this morning we will be 
having a press conference in which I will call upon Attorney General 
Janet 
[[Page H133]] Reno to please give to the Judiciary Committee as rapidly 
as possible the findings from the task force she has set up as to what 
we can do to make women's lives much more secure as they attend family 
planning clinics. People forget that women get all of their health care 
almost from family planning clinics during their reproductive years, 
and the domestic terrorism that has been going on is absolutely 
unacceptable.
  The people saying that if women want this they have to go out and 
hire private armies to secure it is ridiculous. This Constitution 
guarantees equal protection of the law. It never says you get your 
constitutional rights only if you can hire an army to enforce it for 
you. That is what the Federal Government is there for.
  So I certainly hope that we can get those recommendations back from 
our law enforcement community and we can move on it.
