MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION RECOMMENDED TO SETTLE THE BASEBALL STRIKE

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, big league ball players, managers, league 
owners, play ball.
  In the last Congress, last September, I introduced a mandatory 
binding arbitration bill to try to save this year's season for the 
national pastime. I reintroduced that bill in this Congress last month.
  I have been working with the President and the Secretary of Labor, 
and the President is writing and will send up this week his preference 
for binding arbitration, and I will be introducing that. Let us hope 
that the leadership of this House will play ball with the President. 
Let us save the 1995 baseball season.
