 ANNOUNCEMENT OF 60-MINUTE SPECIAL ORDER IN TRIBUTE TO MEDAL OF HONOR 
         WINNER ADMIRAL JOHN BULKELEY AND AVAILABILITY OF TAPE

  (Mr. DORNAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, two items. No. 1, on the first special order 
tonight, and I will be doing an hour tribute to a man who was a legend 
in his life, a living Navy legend up until a few weeks ago, Admiral 
John Duncan Bulkeley, Medal of Honor winner, the man who took General 
MacArthur off Corregidor. Fifty-five years on Navy active duty and not 
a single member of this administration showed up at his funeral.
  Ron Brown, a pleasant chap, got a week of orations and eulogies. 
Nothing for this Medal of Honor winner. No Senators, no other 
Congressmen but myself, no Secretaries of the Navy or former 
Secretaries of the Navy. It was just astounding to me that this great 
man was all but ignored. I am doing a 1-hour tribute to him today.
  Also in my office is available for any Member who wants it, any 
Senator who wants it, a short tape, 5 or 6 minutes, about a near orgy 
held in the Federal Building down Constitution, and permission was 
given by some people on this Hill. See this tape to see what is 
happening with Federal buildings and homosexual galas.
