                           GREECE V. GALLOWAY

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, I rise to support the First Amendment as 
well--as a patriot, as a pastor, as a Member of Congress.
  Joseph Stalin, an enemy of America, once said it this way:

       America is like a healthy body and its resistance is 
     threefold: its patriotism, its morality, its spiritual life. 
     If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse 
     from within.

  President Eisenhower, a patriot, said it this way in October of 1954:

       Atheism substitutes men for the Supreme Creator, and this 
     leads inevitably to domination and dictatorship. We must 
     jealously guard our foundation in faith, for on it rests the 
     ability of the American individual to live and thrive in this 
     blessed land and to be able to help other less fortunate 
     people to achieve freedom and individual opportunity. These 
     we take for granted, but to others they are often only a 
     wistful dream. ``In God We Trust,'' often have we heard the 
     words of this wonderful American motto. Let us make sure that 
     familiarity has not made them meaningless for us. We carry 
     the torch of freedom as a sacred trust for all mankind. We do 
     not believe that God intended the light He created to be put 
     out by men.
