                   A CHALLENGE FOR VICTORIA'S SECRET

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. A California woman has set a world record by hooking 
7,000 brassieres together to create the biggest bra ball in history. 
This bra ball is a protest against the way women's breasts have been 
exploited. Now, if that is not enough to challenge Victoria's Secret, 
this buxom diva has filed a lawsuit against another artist who is also 
building a ball of bras.
  Think about it. America's courts are bogged down with drugs and 
murder, and now we will be tied up with 200 pounds of Maidenforms. 
Unbelievable. Even Slappy White of hillzoo.com cannot believe this. 
What is next, Congress? A stainless steel panty hose contest?

  Beam me up. I yield back the fact that all this money being used for 
this litigation would be better served if they put it towards a cure 
for breast cancer.
