      INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION CALLING ON OUR PRESIDENT TO MAKE 
                ANTITERRORIST ASSETS AVAILABLE TO ISRAEL

  (Mr. LANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, our deeply respected and beloved chaplain a 
few moments ago started out his prayer with these words: ``There are 
times when it seems our world is filled with the demons of violence and 
chaos.''
  This is one of those times.

  As the only survivor of the Holocaust ever elected to the Congress of 
the United States, I know I speak for all of my colleagues, Republicans 
and Democrats, in expressing our outrage at the most recent terrorist 
attack against children, women and old people, all civilians, in the 
streets of Israel.
  The distinguished Republican chairman of the Committee on 
International Relations, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman], and 
I are introducing a resolution denouncing this most recent outrage, 
calling on Yasser Arafat to pulverize the infrastructure of the 
terrorists and calling on the President of the United States to make 
our antiterrorist assets available to achieve that goal.
  I ask all of my colleagues to join me in this resolution.
