                      BAN DESECRATION OF THE FLAG

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, as I come to the well today, I can hardly 
contain my excitement, because today is Flag Day. It is the day we 
honor Old Glory, and what a day, because you know on June 28 I will 
bring on this floor the constitutional amendment that will ban the 
physical desecration of the American flag, and you know what? We have 
282 cosponsors and we only need 290 to pass it on this floor, and we 
are going to do it. What a day for you to come to this well today and 
get on as one of the original cosponsors, because it will go down in 
the history of this country as the fastest ratified amendment ever 
presented to the American people. Let's go, guys, come on down here and 
cosponsor it.
