On the recordJune 24, 2011
I am going to vote for the Hastings resolution and against the Rooney resolution for one person in particular--three words: Jane Ann Morgan, a high school friend of mine in Pasadena, California, who was on Pan Am Flight 103. She and 177 other Americans lost their lives 23 years ago, and we should not forget them. Qadhafi was Osama bin Laden before there was Osama bin Laden, and we cannot stop until he is out of power and the 178 Americans who died and the lives of the soldiers who were injured in the Berlin discos are remembered. I will support the resolution and vote thinking of Jane Ann Morgan today. Mr. McKEON. Just for the record, Mr. Speaker, the original mission was not to get Qadhafi. The original mission, as explained by the President, was to help, for humanitarian purposes, those civilians that Qadhafi was threatening. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich).
