                     WE WILL NOT SUPPORT RADICALISM

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, recently we passed a continuing 
resolution to take care of the funding of the government until next 
March. And one of the things that concerned a lot of us was: Is any of 
that money in that continuing resolution going to go to help the 
Government of Egypt or Libya or any of the other countries where we see 
all that civil unrest and all the horrible acts of murder taking place?
  And I never did get an answer, so I would just like to say to my 
colleagues who are going to be here--I'm retiring at the end of this 
year--we should not give one dime, not one penny, to any country that 
tries to undermine the United States' interests around the world, and 
we should not give one penny to anybody that constantly tries to spread 
radical fundamentalist Muslim beliefs in this world.
  Shari'a law is something we can't live with, and we need to let them 
know very clearly that if they want to work with the United States, 
fine, but they're not getting any money from us if this continues.
  This world is in a terrible state because of these radicals, and we 
must not let them win this battle.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Reed). The Chair would remind Members to 
refrain from trafficking the well while a Member is under recognition.
