                         WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY

  (Mr. STOCKMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STOCKMAN. Today, Mr. Speaker, a young man was sentenced because 
he listened to the propaganda of an organization that I consider a hate 
group. This group says: If you don't agree with us, if you don't follow 
the line, you deserve to be on our list. They listed the Family 
Research Council--godly people that have the sole purpose of reaching 
out to families.
  Reading literature from the Southern Poverty Law Center, this young 
man took it upon himself to feel that the Family Research Council 
needed to be punished. He picked up a gun and went there to murder 
people whose greatest desire was to promote family values. As he 
unloaded his gun, someone stopped him.
  Today, the man was sentenced. But to this day, we have not heard an 
apology from the Southern Poverty Law Center. We have not heard any 
words from them criticizing those actions. To this day, we don't hear 
any apologies or any cries for what that young man did.
  The Southern Poverty Law Center continues to list an enemy list of 
anybody that disagrees with them politically. I'm waiting for their 
apology.
