                   WORLD'S FIRST CANINE TRAVEL AGENCY

  (Mr. TRIFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the world's first canine travel agency 
opened in Austria. No joke. A company advertises health spas for 
Rottweilers, massage parlors for Dobermans, beauty parlors for poodles.
  If that is not enough to throw up one's Alpo, they offer a frequent 
flier program for doggy owners who vacation with Fido. Unbelievable. 
What is next, Mr. Speaker, fire hydrants on all 747s?
  Think about it, with children starving all over the world, doggy 
discos are popping up like beagle patties. Beam me up.
  I yield back all the rabies and fleas that have evidently constipated 
the minds of these rich canine owners who have simply gone to the dogs.
