                            END GUN VIOLENCE

  (Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the American 
public want us to act. They spoke loud and clear. They want an end to 
the gun violence that is taking place in this country.
  We sat down on this House floor to stand up for those Americans who 
want to see Congress put on record as to where they stand on this 
issue. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents--80 percent-plus 
support background checks. They support no fly, no buy. Mr. Speaker, 
all we are asking for this week and what the American people are asking 
you for is a vote on these two simple principles.
  The Rules Committee is going to meet tonight. We ask that you include 
two amendments that Democrats will bring forward: no fly, no buy--if 
you can't fly on an airplane, you can't buy a gun--and comprehensive, 
expanded backgrounds checks.
  Mr. Speaker, I don't think that is too much for us to ask. The 
American people will be watching to see where their Members of Congress 
stand on these two important issues.
