                       FLIER FROM TERRISFIGHT.ORG

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, I want to read from a flier from the Web site 
terrisfight.org:
  ``Terri Schiavo is sentenced to die of starvation by the Florida 
courts, however:
  ``Terri responds to verbal, auditory and digital stimuli.
  ``Terri breaths normally on her own.

[[Page 4649]]

  ``Terri smiles, tries to talk to her family and friends and will move 
her limbs on command.
  ``Terri is not in a coma. She is reactive and has sleeping and 
wakeful periods.
  ``Terri is not a burden. Her parents, brother and sister have offered 
to care for her in a safe environment and she has a fund so is not a 
burden to anyone, taxpayers included.
  ``Terri's condition can improve with proper treatment.
  ``Don't let the Florida courts starve this innocent woman to death. 
Terri's time is running out.''
  Congress can and must act this week. We cannot allow the execution of 
this disabled young woman.
