     UNITED NATIONS SEEKS PROTECTION FOR CROATIAN CURLY-HAIRED PIG

  (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, after an expensive study on endangered 
farm animals, the United Nations has determined that the world must 
protect the Croatian curly-haired pig. That is right, while millions 
are starving in Africa, and many thousands are being slaughtered in 
Rwanda, the United Nations is immersed in animal husbandry.
  If that is not enough to bust your chops, while the United Nations is 
studying the ham hocks of Croatian curly-haired pigs, with American tax 
dollars, I might add, American troops are landing in Bosnia.
  Mr. Speaker, I say the United Nations has officially become the 
mother of all pork. I question on the House floor today, I want to know 
what they are using to smoke those hams with. I think they are using 
something that is an illegal contraband everywhere in the world.
  With that, I yield back the balance of all of the rest of this pork. 
Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
