SENSE OF CONGRESS RESOLUTION PROVIDING $5 MILLION REWARD FOR ARREST AND 
                    CONVICTION OF ANTHRAX TERRORISTS

  (Ms. CARSON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, this House, ordinarily the United 
States Congress, passes what they call a Sense of Congress resolution. 
I am proposing a Sense of Congress resolution which I believe is a 
good-sense resolution in behalf of the United States Congress.
  What it says is very simple, that the United States Government will 
pay $5 million to any person who supplies information leading to the 
arrest and conviction of the person or persons who are responsible for 
placing anthrax spores in the United States mail system through to the 
United States Government mails, which have worked their way into the 
United States Government offices and into the lives of people in the 
United States.
  Mr. Speaker, I was appalled, as I am sure other Members were, to 
learn that we have lost yet another citizen, a lady out of New York who 
has now expired at 1 o'clock this morning because she had inadvertently 
inhaled anthrax.
  It is the right approach for the United States Government because of 
the assault against the United States Government to post a $5 million 
reward for those who are responsible for this vicious, vicious act.
