On the recordJune 13, 1996
Freedom if religion and freedom of speech are the two most precious rights in our American society. Implicit in our freedom to worship the God of our choice is the freedom to worship without fear. It is a very sad day when the right to worship without fear has been jeopardized by the unconscionable torching of houses of worship. I am pleased to join my colleagues in strongly supporting H.R. 3525. However, as much as we try through legislation to stop the fires, the most important change must come in the hearts of those who hate. I just have a message for those out there: Remember what you plant will come back to you. I do believe that there is a God, and you are creating a fire here, but know that there is going to be a great day, and that fire will burn eternal.
