                   JENNIFER DAVIS IMPRISONED IN PERU

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Madam Speaker, September 25, 1996, 1 year ago, Jennifer 
Davis was in Peru. She was arrested on drug charges. She has admitted 
her guilt and has cooperated with authorities. For this, she has been 
put in an inhumane prison, has never received her rights under Peruvian 
law. While she has been there for 1 year, a Russian arrested is in and 
out in 6 months; a policeman that she put the finger on is in and out 
in 6 months.
  This Peruvian Government has refused to consider the sense-of-
Congress resolutions passed in both Houses to extend our human rights 
to this young lady and 24 other Americans. It is time to do something 
about it.
