                    STONE COLD PROMOTION OF GARBAGE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, it is not just about the Virgin Mary 
splattered with cow manure; it is about common decency. The Brooklyn 
Museum of Art is displaying a portrait of a pedophile that features the 
handprints of the children he murdered.
  Think about it: on display in New York City, the handprints of 
America's murdered children.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. This is not freedom of expression; this is 
stone cold promotion of garbage. Congress should be supporting Mayor 
Giuliani's attempt to stop public funding of this type of trash.
  I yield back the handprints of America's murdered children on display 
in the great City of New York.
