                       EYES OF AMERICA ON FLORIDA

  (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 eyes of America are on Florida, and 
they should be. The truth is, this is not a Washington matter; this is 
a matter for Florida. Let Florida count the votes, and if Mr. Bush 
continues to maintain his lead, and does win the popular vote in 
Florida, Mr. Bush should be installed as our next President.
  Mr. Speaker, the electoral college system to elect Presidents has 
survived for over 200 years unchanged. I yield back the wisdom of our 
Founding Fathers.
