    AN AMERICA WITHOUT GOD IS AN AMERICA THE FOUNDERS NEVER INTENDED

  (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 United States Army in Europe has 
denied Catholic soldiers the right to hold mass in the base chapel. A 
spokesman said, and I quote, ``The Army will not pay for the cost of a 
priest.'' He further said, ``If we allow the Catholics in, we must 
allow all religions in.''
  Now, if that is not enough to shred the Bible, the Army does allow 
and permits witchcraft and pagan ceremonies at the base. The spokesman 
said, and I quote, ``The witchcraft groups pay for their own pagan 
ministers.''
  Unbelievable. It is time to call in the dogs, throw the coffee grinds 
on the fire, the hunting is over. When the U.S. Army allows satan in 
one door and will not allow God in the other door, America is so 
screwed up we do not know where we are going.
  Beam me up, here. I yield back the fact that an America without God 
is an America that the Founders never planned.
