             RESIDENTS IN NEW YORK BANNED FROM FLYING FLAG

  (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, residents of Brookshire Condominiums in 
Washingtonville, New York, have been banned from flying the American 
flag. Banned, ladies and gentlemen. In fact, they will be charged $25 
for every day that they fly the flag beyond the five holidays allowed. 
Unbelievable.
  The sad fact is in America today we can burn the flag, but we may not 
be allowed to fly the flag. Beam me up. Is it any wonder America is so 
screwed up?
  I yield back the lives of thousands of heroic Americans who gave 
their lives in battle while carrying Old Glory into battle.
