               TRIBUTE TO ``WE WANT AMERICA BACK'' RALLY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 4, 1997

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Pastor Billy 
Robinson and everyone involved with the ``We Want America Back'' rally 
on October 23, 1997. Over 700 people were there to stand up for the 
traditional values that made this country great. It is important to 
note that the mayor of Jasper, Don Goetz, remarked that it was the 
biggest crowd ever at the Sherer auditorium.
  It is also noteworthy that this was not a political rally, or a 
denominational rally. It was an opportunity for people to stand up for 
what is right. In fact, it was the many people from different 
denominations and both political parties joining together that made 
this rally so successful.
  Although I could not attend in person due to my official duties in 
Washington, I strongly support the efforts of those I represent to 
improve the moral climate in this country today, and reassert the vital 
importance of traditional values. I look forward to continuing to work 
in support of this cause.
