    SAVING LIVES CAN RESULT WHEN PEOPLE START OBEYING EXISTING LAWS

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my 
colleague, the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Menendez). I would say 
this, this does become a matter of priorities. We need to reach out and 
save American lives.
  One way we can do that is by taking a careful, considered look at the 
problem of domestic violence and school violence, but also at the very 
real threat the Chinese now present to the American people.
  Mr. Speaker, nuclear weapons are really big guns. They are not 
firecrackers. The grim reality is that this administration, the 
Clinton-Gore gang, took hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign 
contributions from the Communist Chinese, and an arms dealer by the 
name of Wang Jun provided some of that money. Curiously, the Justice 
Department waived any restrictions. The result was, 100,000 assault 
weapons were turned loose in the city of Los Angeles, adding to the 
violence.
  Mr. Speaker, it is one thing to talk about laws, and it is one thing 
to preen and posture on convictions, but the fact is, serious results 
come when people start by obeying existing laws.
