                  OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS UNDER ATTACK

  (Ms. FURSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FURSE. Madam Speaker, as an immigrant, as a Member of Congress, 
as one who won her second race by a very small minority, I want to say 
that I am appalled that new voters, and especially voters who have 
Hispanic surnames, are being targeted by the attacks on the gentlewoman 
from California [Ms. Sanchez].
  All of us, all of us, our right to privacy, is under attack; and this 
attack is coming from a man who was not allowed to serve on this floor, 
Bob Dornan. It is time that the choice of the voters be honored. We who 
represent the people of our district must reject this attack on our 
democratic election process. We must reject this resolution. We must 
support what the voters supported, the election of the gentlewoman from 
California [Ms. Sanchez] to serve the people of her district.
