                       SYMPTOMS IN THE HEADLINES

  (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: Prosecutor executed in Boston; World 
Trade Center bombed: Federal building blown up in Oklahoma: Amtrak 
train sabotaged in Arizona; A mailbox Unabomber that is killing people 
through mailboxes: 25,000 murders a year; in some cities high school 
dropout rates over 50 percent.
  I believe these are symptoms, Mr. Speaker, and Congress is addressing 
them as problems. Maybe the problems will be found in the Federal laws 
that reward dependency, penalize achievement, subsidize illegitimacy, 
kill families, kill investments, kill jobs.
  I say to my colleagues: without jobs we will continue to have the 
symptoms that are the headlines of the U.S. papers.
