                   FLORIDA FIXES THEIR ELECTRIC CHAIR

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Daniel Remeya said he killed people for 
the fun of it. In 1985 he killed a clerk for $50. Two days later he 
killed a grocery clerk. Two days after that he killed a restaurant 
manager. That same day he killed two repair men, my colleagues. Now, 
after all that his attorneys said Florida's electric chair does not 
work properly, constituting cruel and unusual punishment, therefore 
Remeya should be spared.
  Beam me up.
  I want to commend Florida for, No. 1, fixing their electric chair; 
and, No. 2, for using the electric chair on this creep who killed 
innocent victims for the fun of it.
  Good night, sweet prince.
  I say one last thing, Congress. An America that gives murderers three 
square meals, a roof and a law library is an America that will continue 
to have mass murderers. I yield back all the carnage in our cities.
