                 KHATAMI HAS THE WHITE HOUSE BUFFALOED

  (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, the Khatami regime in Iran has arrested 
13 Iranian Jews. They were accused of spying for Israel and the United 
States of America. The regime is supposedly seeking the death penalty.
  Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker. The White House supports Khatami; the 
State Department supports Khatami; in fact, the White House said, and I 
quote: ``Khatami is a welcome voice of moderation.''
  Moderation, my ascot.
  Beam me up.
  Khatami is a brutal killer, a fanatic, a bold-faced liar.
  It is time to recognize the Resistance, the National Council of 
Resistance in Iran, fighting for democracy, and it is time to set the 
record straight. Khatami has the White House buffaloed. He should not 
buffalo this Congress.
