                TURN OFF O.J. AND WATCH MY SPECIAL ORDER

  (Mr. DORNAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, today I am first up for a 1-hour special 
order, and it is one that I have been trying to do before my fellow 
Members in this esteemed body and that growing audience of 1,300,000 
caring Americans across the country through the courtesy of C-SPAN, and 
it is going to be on the Battle of the Bulge. Fortunately, I was able 
to get over to Europe in December with the Secretary of the Army, and I 
was a little bit saddened that no Member of the other Chamber, of the 
United States Senate, or any other Member of the House was able to get 
over there on December 16, which was the beginning of the last major 
Army offensive move in the West of the war, and it took the lives of 
between 16,000 Americans killed in action, to 19,000, depending on when 
one determines what was the cutoff of this offensive, and it was fought 
in the dead of winter, under snow cover, and I hope that people will 
turn off O.J. Simpson's trial and watch this special order.
  Mr. Speaker, this is what America is all about, remembering those who 
gave their lives for our freedom.
