                  A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

  (Mr. WESTMORELAND asked and was given permission to address the

House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Mr. Speaker, they say a picture is worth a thousand 
words, so I'm going to show you some pictures today.
  This is a picture of the World War II Veterans Memorial being shut 
down. I want to find out who ordered these signs because these were up 
the very next morning. And plus, you know, what may be a Chicago sign 
painter that got this order, who gave him the order, and where did we 
get all the barricades.
  Here's another one. This is a park in Washington, D.C. You can see 
the kids and stuff playing. It's got a sign that it's shut down.
  So these things are normally open-air. They're open 24 hours a day, 7 
days a week, 365 days a year. But yet, now they're closed.
  I wonder if the golf courses on our Federal property and our military 
bases are closed?
  It doesn't look like they are right now, but we'll see if we can't 
get them some barricades.
