                       THE SPEAKER SHOULD RESIGN

                                 ______


                         HON. EARL F. HILLIARD

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 17, 1995

  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, African-Americans have had over 300 years 
of slavery, segregation, discrimination, and insults.
  In most instances, these abuses have been sanctioned by law and 
today, we are still discriminated against and insulted.
  We have walked in gullies, when whites walked on the sidewalk and we 
have gone in and out of millions of back doors.
  We are still suffering from the lingering affects of slavery, 
segregation, discrimination and the back door policies of America, but 
we have never put this country at risk or in jeopardy because our 
feelings were hurt, because we were snubbed or because we had to go and 
come by the back door.
  The position of the Speaker and what the Speaker is doing to this 
country, because of his hurt feelings while recently aboard Air Force 
One is un-American and I believe because of his actions, he should 
resign the office of Speaker.
