 A WHOLE NEW POLICY ON TERRORISM IN AMERICA: IF TERRORISTS APOLOGIZE, 
                           THEY ARE SET FREE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House

[[Page H8002]]

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, 12 terrorists from Puerto Rico who are 
responsible for 130 bombings in America, killing 6 Americans and 
wounding many more have been pardoned by the President. Now, if that is 
not enough to get away with murder, check this out: to get the pardon, 
the terrorists had to promise to give up violence. Unbelievable, Madam 
Speaker.
  A whole new policy on terrorism in America. If terrorists apologize, 
they are set free. Beam me up, Madam Speaker.
  An America that pardons terrorists is an America that invites more 
terrorism. I yield back the pain and suffering of their victims and 
their families.
