                        IN MEMORIAM, PAN AM 103

 Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, I rise today to note with 
solemnity the anniversary of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over 
Lockerbie, Scotland. It is now 7 years since that infamous act which 
claimed the lives of 270 people. All the more vile because its 
perpetrators still have not been brought to trial.
  Despite a regime of international sanctions, the Libyan government 
refuses to extradite the indicted terrorists. A state which harbors 
outlaws must, of necessity, remain an outlaw state. The United States 
and our allies ought never to waver in our commitment to the rule of 
law and the measures necessary to enforce it.
  On November 3, I joined the families of the victims and President 
Clinton at Arlington National Cemetery for the dedication of a memorial 
cairn. On that occasion the President reminded us that ``we must never, 
never relax our efforts until the criminals are brought to justice.'' I 
emphatically concur.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
