                        MORAL DECLINE IN AMERICA

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, today we return from about a 6-week 
sabbatical back in our districts. I would like to address some more 
evidence of the moral decline that is coming over our country. I am 
talking about the cities, including Columbus, Seattle, Milwaukee, and 
New York, that are suing Kia and Hyundai because of car thefts in their 
district.
  They are not blaming the breakdown in the families encouraged by the 
government, not blaming the weak DAs they elect, not blaming the weak 
judges they elect. They are blaming the car companies. How must we look 
to the South Koreans when they pick up their newspaper and find out the 
Americans are suing their car companies because our young people can't 
be prevented from taking them?
  Wake up, America. Please stop this horrible moral decline before it 
is too late. Please, please, American cities, don't sue car companies 
anymore because we are doing such a bad job of raising the young 
generation.
