On the recordSeptember 5, 1997
I certainly extend my condolences and condolences from the people of the 15th Congressional District to the people of Israel who have, again, been victimized by the terrorists, and in particular, by this very, very ugly form of political terrorism, the suicide bomber. I can tell all of my colleagues that this is the most vicious, despicable form of terrorism that is imaginable, where you send suicide bombers into shopping markets where innocent men, women, and children are, and as very correctly pointed out by our colleague, Palestinians are actually in the area. They are blowing themselves up, in some instances. Mr. Speaker, this is a form of mindless terrorism.
