                     MIND OF A DEMOCRAT MILLIONAIRE

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I say to my friends, have they ever 
wondered what it is like to be a Democrat millionaire? Well, if we look 
in Congressional Daily on page 4 today, we can get some insight into 
the mind of a Democrat millionaire.
  We have a Senator, Senator Kerry on the other side, who was in danger 
of receiving a parking ticket for having the family car parked in front 
of a fire hydrant. I do not know if he got a parking ticket or not, but 
what did he do? He moved his family's millions to move the fire 
hydrant.


                Announcement by the Speaker pro tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman 
will try to avoid making references to Members of the other body.
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, if one has millions and millions of 
dollars and if one parks in front of a fire hydrant, do not worry about 
a ticket, just pay to have the hydrant moved.
  So in the exclusive Beacon Hill area of Boston, the civic association 
says, this has never, ever happened before. A guy named Peter Thompson 
said, this is a first even for Beacon Hill. Remember that. If you have 
lots of money and want to park in front of a hydrant, just pay to have 
the hydrant moved.
