                   JOHN KERRY AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF?

  (Mr. CUNNINGHAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, Colonel Bud Day, former Vietnam prisoner 
of war for over 6 years, recalls in his book on how Jane Fonda, Ramsey 
Clark, and John Kerry energized the enemy through their accusations and 
hurt them as prisoners of war.
  Mr. Speaker, I was shot down over North Vietnam at that time. I can 
remember the anger and the disparaging remarks that John Kerry made 
about our service. I remember the rage in all of us from his slander.
  I am proud of the men and women that I served with in Vietnam and 
those that are serving us at great risk today in Iraq and Afghanistan 
and all over the world.
  Even today, John Kerry votes against defense, the military, veterans, 
and intelligence bills that would enforce the safe return of our men 
and women. We do not need someone that would vote like a Jane Fonda as 
commander in chief.
