             JOHN KERRY DOES NOT BELONG IN THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on this day in 1971, John 
Kerry showed his true colors; and they are not red, white, and blue.
  Before the Senate, before America, and before the world, he blasted 
our Nation, chastised our troops, and hurt our morale. He famously 
declared that soldiers tortured innocent Vietnamese and that America 
was the worse violator of the Geneva Conventions, not Vietnam.
  In 1971 when John Kerry had the freedom to stand up to defy duty, 
honor, and country, I just emerged from 4 years of solitary 
confinement, where the Vietnamese did not adhere to the Geneva 
Conventions.
  What he did was nothing short of aiding and abetting the enemy. A 
person like John Kerry does not belong in the White House.
  Is it any wonder my comrades from Vietnam and I have a nickname for 
him similar to ``Hanoi Jane''? He is called ``Hanoi John.''
