                       PALESTINIAN WARNS SETTLERS

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, in today's New York Times an article 
appeared entitled ``Palestinian Warns Settlers,'' and it says that the 
Palestinian security chief in the West Bank warned Jewish settlers 
today that they would ``not leave alive'' if they tried to attack 
residents.
  Mr. Speaker, we are in a very important time in the history of the 
State of Israel. Statements such as this certainly are not conducive to 
the peace process, and I certainly hope that in the future people in 
responsible positions such as this will not make these kinds of 
statements.
