  CALLING FOR MEMBERS' ASSISTANCE REGARDING FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF 
                         WEAVER FAMILY KILLINGS

  (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, in 1992 Federal agents attacked the 
Weaver family in Idaho. They killed 14-year-old Sammy Weaver. They shot 
him in the back. They then shot an unarmed Mrs. Weaver and killed her, 
shooting her right between the eyes as she held her infant baby. They 
even killed the dog. Court documents now prove the FBI lied in court. 
Federal agents fired first. Weaver was entrapped into a gun violation.
  Mr. Speaker, is this the Justice Department or is this the KGB? I 
always thought in America our Government does not shoot 14-year-olds in 
the back. Our Government does not shoot unarmed mothers while they hold 
their infant.
  Mr. Speaker, I have asked for a Federal investigation of this matter, 
and both sides of the aisle need to provide some oversight to the 
agencies of our Justice Department. I would appreciate the Members' 
help.
