                     A CASE OF SELECTIVE INSANITY?

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, this morning we had a guest 
chaplain who opened our session with prayer. We have a full-time 
chaplain. So does our Senate. So do a lot of athletic teams and our 
military services each have a large number of chaplains.

                              {time}  1015

  And our schools have condoms.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish that you could help me and at least 150 million 
other Americans understand why chaplains and prayers are good for our 
House of Representatives, good for our Senate, good for our athletic 
teams and good for our soldiers and sailors and marines and airmen. And 
condoms are good for our kids. Is this a case of selective insanity?
