                    THREAT OF WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

  (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, reports say there is a growing number of 
Arab people opposing Uncle Sam, and they are also beginning to oppose 
their own leaders. If these reports are true, Arab nations are now 
vulnerable. Egypt and Mubarak may fall. King Fahd in Saudi Arabia may 
fall. Musharraf and Pakistan may fall, and they say that Arafat has now 
even insulated himself. These possibilities would destabilize the 
entire Free World.
  I ask Congress, and I yield back the need to establish a Palestinian 
State, the first step necessary to avoid war in the Middle East and war 
spread throughout the entire world.
