         URGING CONGRESS TO ALLOW GOD BACK INTO THE SCHOOLROOMS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, after September 11, America turned to 
prayer. Churches, community groups, colleges, all of America prayed for 
the victims, their families, and our great Nation.
  Once again, when in crisis, America turns to prayer and turns to God. 
Yet, America has banned God from our schools. Shame. A nation that bans 
God from our schools is a nation that invites the devil.
  I yield back our right of religious freedom and urge this Congress to 
take whatever steps and means are necessary to invite and allow God 
back into our schoolrooms.
