On the recordMarch 23, 1994
yesterday, during my 1-minute speech, I asked unanimous consent that materials be placed in the Congressional Record. I was informed by the Parliamentarian that they were inappropriate for insertion into the Record. Given their near- pornographic nature, I cannot blame the Parliamentarian for his decision. What are these items? They are graphic brochures designed to instruct and entice young people in homosexual sex acts. These same brochures-- masquerading as AIDS education--were made available at a New York City youth AIDS conference to students as young as 12. This conference was sponsored by the New York State Department of Education. This is exactly the type of prohomosexual propaganda the Hancock amendment to H.R. 6 is targeting. If this is not fit for the Congressional Record, it is certainly not fit for grade-school, junior high, and high school students. I urge Members to support my amendment upon our return from Easter break, and oppose any attempts to weaken it. ____________________

I have a real problem. Just the other day the President comes on national television, and the first item he mentioned as part of the shutdown was Meals on Wheels. My wife devotes 1 full day a week plus other free time to Meals on Wheels in…
