                       U.N. CONFERENCE ON RACISM

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker and colleagues, the most recent issue of the 
Weekly Standard features a Charles Krauthammer article entitled 
Disgrace in Durbin, referring to the recently concluded U.N. Conference 
on Racism.
  Mr. Krauthammer suggests that their conference included Third World 
dictators practicing their demagoguery, hopefully to the detriment of 
Israel.
  He further suggests that the conference had the trappings reminiscent 
of pre-World War II in Nazi Germany, a Nuremberg rally, if you will, 
and these same dictators were pointing indirectly or directly 
accusatory fingers at the United States because of our friendship with 
Israel.
  This sort of activity serves no good purpose, and President Bush is 
to be commended for his refusal to legitimize or dignify the disgrace 
in Durbin.
