               REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CAN WORK IT OUT

  (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, news reports say that John Wayne Bobbitt, 
bearing roses and chocolates, went acourting the same woman who tried 
to steal his family jewels once before. That is right. The same news 
sources say that ex-wife Lorena says, I quote, ``As far as I am 
concerned, this matter is cut and dried.''
  Mr. Speaker, the reports say John Bobbitt is not discouraged. He said 
he will try again. Now, think about this. If the Bobbitts, John Bobbitt 
specifically, can set his pride aside on the side of the road and try 
and resolve differences, Democrats and Republicans can work out what 
differences exist with Medicare. Think about it. In fact, if this 
couple can resolve their differences, all of America can work out our 
problems. With that, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of any 
outstanding matter in this 1-minute.
