   A CALL FOR INVESTIGATION OF THE FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IN THE 
                       NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 3 minutes.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I am under investigation in the Northern 
District of Ohio by the United States Justice Department, the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service. They have 
targeted me for 20 years.
  They suborned perjury in my first trial, where I am the only American 
in the history of the country to have defeated the Justice Department 
in a RICO case pro se, and they have never forgotten it and they have 
targeted me ever since.
  The bottom line is there may be an indictment any day. But during 
this period of time where I have been targeted, I have been 
investigating the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice 
Department in the Northern District of Ohio. FBI agents in the northern 
district of Ohio have been on the payroll of the Mob. They have been 
bank rolled by the Mob. In fact, the Mob had directed the first 
indictment of Jim Traficant.
  Mr. Speaker, in addition, I have credible evidence and an affidavit 
that supports the fact that an individual informant has charged the FBI 
with asking him to commit murder. I will be presenting these matters to 
a respective committee of Congress asking for a committee investigation 
with full subpoena powers to back up the affidavits that I have before 
me.
  So, Mr. Speaker, having taken this time, I thank the Chair for 
allowing me to make such a statement.
