                    JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND H.R. 4105

  (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, while Congress fights over small pay 
raises, the Justice Department gave $180 million worth of bonuses. If 
that is not enough to promote the Peter Principle, Robert Bratt and Joe 
Lake got big bucks for illegal contracts, illegal hiring of cronies, 
and illegal visas for two lovers they called field operatives, and 
neither was even charged.
  Let us check further. Colgate got $110,000, Sposato got $85,000, Vail 
got $75,000. Meanwhile, my $1 minimum wage bill is still being blocked 
in the Senate, and this group of cronies at the Justice Department 
maintains dossiers on myself and all my colleagues, making sure we do 
not destroy their gravy train.
  Beam me up here. It is time to pass H.R. 4105 and put a bulldog right 
on their buns, big time.
