                               speech of

                             HON. DON YOUNG

                               of alaska

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 18, 1996

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in order to voice my 
strong opposition to the conference report for the Terrorism Prevention 
Act. I did not support the House bill as my voting record indicates and 
I did not intend to cast my support for the conference report. I 
strongly feel this legislation is a knee-jerk reaction to a most 
heinous crime. This body has passed enough legislation in previous 
years to catch and punish criminals who commit these atrocious acts 
against humanity. Unfortunately, I cannot change my vote but I do wish 
to make it clear that I opposed the conference report for the Terrorism 
Prevention Act.
