                             WELFARE REFORM

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, as the Gingrich Republicans prepare for 
their blitzkrieg against the poor, and say things that I hope they do 
not mean, I would like to read a letter from one of their supporters, 
obviously inspired by their rhetoric.
  The letter reads:

       After watching your Negro boss do her jungle act about 
     bringing back the brown shirts, I think we need some color 
     shirts to control these Negro females who pop out ------ 
     Negro children like monkeys in the jungle. No, I think the 
     monkeys are more civilized. We real Americans don't intend to 
     support ------ Negro children who live like rats in a hole 
     and don't have a chance to become human. The welfare system 
     is the cause. Even whites are becoming trash just like 
     Negroes who pop out all these ------ Negro children. Don't 
     you understand that we Americans are trying to civilize you? 
     Why do you fight it so hard? The jungle is in Africa, though 
     you have turned D.C. into an American jungle. Grow up and 
     become an American.
  [[Page H3742]] Mr. Speaker, the spirit of GOP welfare reform lives in 
these words.
