                 THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD IN AMERICA

  (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, to smooth over the Randy Weaver case, the 
FBI will now take courses on behavioral sciences.
  The record now is clear, the FBI shot and killed Randy Weaver's son; 
the FBI then shot and killed Randy Weaver's pregnant wife. And after 
all that, they have now been cited for illegal acts, but they will not 
be prosecuted.
  Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker, illegal acts. On the streets of America 
those kinds of illegal acts are known as murder.
  Mr. Speaker, the FBI does not need teachers and the FBI does not need 
to go to school. The FBI should be hauling and trucking their assets to 
a grand jury, and they should be meeting some prosecutors. There is a 
double standard here in America, and I think the Randy Weaver case is 
one that Congress should not let slip by.
