        JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, when the Justice Department is accused 
of a crime, the Justice Department investigates the Justice Department. 
Think about it. Eighty Americans were killed at Waco Texas; the Justice 
Department investigated themselves. Eighteen of those killed at Waco 
were children, literally burned to death. The Justice Department 
investigated themselves. Unbelievable. Peers investigating peers; 
buddies investigating buddies. Who is kidding whom, Madam Speaker?
  If the Justice Department was not guilty at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, when 
Vickie Weaver was shot right between the eyes, why did the Justice 
Department pay Randy Weaver $5 million?
  Beam me up. Congress should cosponsor H.R. 2201.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back all the exonerating investigations, self-
investigations, at the Justice Department.
