                         THE MILLION MAN MARCH

  (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, I attended the Million Man March. I 
thought it was the right thing to do.
  Many of my constituents were there. They happened to be black. They 
also happened to be Americans, and I try to honestly be a Congressman 
for all people.
  The  Million  Man  March  was  a success.  The  message  was 
powerful. The themes were responsible: self-responsibility, self-
actualization, economic independence, morality, love, parenthood. Those 
are good messages for all America.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, there is a reality here. The Pope and Billy 
Graham are great human beings, but the Pope and Billy Graham and all of 
the religious leaders of the world will not solve the race problem in 
America. It is going to, in fact, require the help of all people. 
Congress should join in and commend that march. It was good for the 
country.
