                  SUPPORT THE AMASH-KUCINICH AMENDMENT

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, in a short time, the House will have an 
opportunity to reclaim our constitutional authority on matters of war 
and peace by voting to stop the use of funds for the war in Libya.
  An agreement has been reached through work that Mr. Amash and I have 
done to create a bipartisan amendment which states: None of the funds 
made available by this act may be used for the use of military force 
against Libya.
  The Amash-Kucinich amendment is cosponsored by a growing group of 
bipartisan activists, including, Representatives Ron Paul, Lynn 
Woolsey, Walter Jones, John Conyers, Dan Burton, Barbara Lee, Ted Poe, 
and Pete Stark.
  This could well be an historic moment where a bipartisan coalition 
rallies this Congress to defend the Constitution and to reset the 
balance that has been upset by the administration's claiming the war 
power.
  Vote to end to the war in Libya. Support the bipartisan Amash-
Kucinich amendment.
