                      BRING TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, on my behalf and on behalf of my 
colleague, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.

LaTourette), I rise to strongly urge the President and the U.S. 
Government to act on behalf of justice. A Palestinian terrorist in a 
just-released autobiography admitted he planned the attack against 
Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich.
  Mr. Speaker, 11 athletes were murdered in that attack. One of the 
murdered was David Berger, a middleweight lifter from Shaker Heights, 
Ohio, with dual American-Israeli citizenship. David's family has been 
waiting 27 years for justice, to find the killers and to bring them to 
justice.
  Palestinian terrorist Abu Daoud says he plotted the senseless murders 
in Munich. Now is the time for the United States and the world 
community to marshal its forces to capture Mr. Daoud and bring him 
before a court of law. We must do this for the memory of David Berger. 
We must do this for the families of all of the athletes who perished, 
and we must do this to fight terrorism wherever and whenever we find 
it.
