                         PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, first, I compliment my friend and 
colleague from Ohio for the statement he made. Frankly, the 
announcement he made that this tragedy called partial-birth abortion is 
happening today and it is happening very frequently--I appreciate him 
calling attention to it. I hope our colleagues listened and I hope our 
colleagues this year will pass a ban on that very gruesome procedure 
which is the murder of a child as it is being born.
  I thank my friend and colleague. I hope and expect Congress will pass 
it this year. Maybe with the votes necessary to overturn the 
President's veto.
  I thank him for his statement.
