                         LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, it is story time once again. Once upon a 
time, a girl named Little Red Riding Hood was traveling alone to a big 
white house in the woods. In her travels, she encountered a predator: A 
sly and vicious wolf.
  And as this story tells us, the Wolf, smacking his lips, exclaimed, 
and I read, ``What a plump little lass.''
  The Wolf, an expert on preying on women of all shapes and sizes, 
called out to her, ``Would you like to have some pizza as I shut some 
things down?''
  Well, Little Red Riding Hood, not knowing what she was getting into, 
and really liking pizza, agreed and proceeded to the big white house. 
It was there that the wolf did his dirty work.
  Sadly, it was only for fear of the hunters that the Big Bad Wolf and 
his friends let Little Red Riding Hood go. They even tried to send her 
traveling to another den of wolves in the big city.
  Today, we still have wolves in high places who use deception to cover 
their evil intentions. These predators who prey on young women without 
care for the consequences must be stopped.
