                IN SUPPORT OF ANTITERRORIST LEGISLATION

  (Mr. GILMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, the heinous terrorist bombings in Israel 
that have claimed the lives of more than 50 Israelis, Americans, and 
others, and injured more than 150 have shocked all Americans. They must 
be stopped.
  Today I plan to introduce legislation calling upon Yasir Arafat, and 
the Palestinian leadership to crack down decisively against the 
terrorists and those who support them.
  My resolution also calls for a review of United States assistance to 
the Palestinians, and calls upon President Clinton to consider making 
available to Israel appropriate antiterrorist and intelligence 
resources.
  I urge my colleagues to cosponsor and support his measure.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, our Committee on International Relations will 
hold a hearing on Tuesday, March 12, into these vicious attacks, and on 
compliance of the PLO with the commitments it has made to the peace 
process.
