                 LINK BETWEEN ILLEGITIMACY AND WELFARE?

  (Mr. CONYERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, to my astonishment, I just heard my good 
friend, the gentleman from Ohio, Martin Hoke, the distinguished member 
of the Committee on the Judiciary from Cleveland, OH, make an 
incredible link between illegitimacy and welfare. I think he knows what 
he is talking about, because he is a very brilliant Member of this 
body. Perhaps his 1-minute was so truncated that we were not able to 
get to the bottom of what it was that was bothering him.
  But I would like to invite him privately to join with me to discuss 
this serious matter of welfare, because I do not want the kind of 
assumptions that were linked together in a 1-minute presentation to be 
taken as a serious point of view by my good friend, the gentleman from 
Cleveland, OH.
