              PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

  (Mr. RADANOVICH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, the proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction poses the most serious of dangers to the peace of the 
world. Chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons in the hands of 
terrorists could bring catastrophic harm to America and to our friends 
around the world. We must oppose that threat by any means necessary.
  The men and women of our intelligence community have already found a 
very revealing component of Iraq's biological weapons program. Two 
mobile production facilities equipped to produce biological weapons. 
Iraqis allege that these trucks are pharmaceutical labs. But what 
possible reason could there be for two such mobile labs in the middle 
of the desert? And why, if these vehicles were merely pharmaceutical 
trucks, did the Iraqi soldiers wash them out with bleach while the war 
was going on?
  President Bush's decisive action and leadership is keeping our 
country and allies safe from terrorist groups that are unrestrained in 
their choice of weapon and undeterred by conventional means. Our 
perseverance and our belief in the success of liberty assures our 
security, and we will not relent until this war is won.
