I am actually going to discuss two things: one, a short tribute to a good friend of mine, a political acquaintance who has developed into a good friend because of his good heart and what he and his whole large family has tried to do about the agony in Northern Ireland. His name is Thomas Tracy. I put this little tribute to him in the Extensions of Remarks a month ago, but for some reason I felt that it was important enough for me to rise today and say it to the whole Nation through the wonders of C-SPAN, that million-plus audience of ours, and through you, Mr. Speaker, to the world. And then I want to discuss the terrible tragedy of AIDS and how it is growing exponentially and almost unnoticed in our society. First to Mr. Thomas Tracy. TRIBUTE TO THOMAS TRACY: DISTINGUISHED IRISH-AMERICAN LEADER I just want to recognize, Mr. Speaker, Tom's honorable achievements for the Irish-American community.

There is a handful of people who do want to circle the wagons, seal the country up, forget that we are a nation of immigrants, and I am tired of the liberal part of the news media going after them for quotes. They are not part of the…
