            PRESIDENT SHOULD SIGN DEFENSE APPROPRIATION BILL

  (Mr. MONTGOMERY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, I have learned that the President of the 
United States has taken the defense appropriations bill to Europe with 
him and he will decide whether he will sign the bill or not sign the 
bill. I certainly hope he will sign it. If he does not sign it, I hope 
he will not veto the defense appropriation bill. I think it is a 
reasonable approach.

[[Page H 13737]]

  We have military forces all around the world today. We need as much 
money as possible to keep these forces in the different places. The 
President is talking now about Bosnia. So certainly I hope the 
President of the United States would sign this legislation and the 
money needed to take care of our troops.
  About the only thing that we need in this country, to be sure, is 
that we have a strong military defense. If we have a good defense, we 
can just about do everything in this great country.
