“45 years ago this year a bullet was fired into this Chamber. It does not matter who fired the bullet, who bought the bullet, who drove the getaway car. They were all involved in terrorism. The debate today is about terrorism. I have heard a word used, ``Phony emergency.'' They are about to be released. That is why it is an emergency. I hear it has been called a political resolution. Then we are joined by such politicians as Hillary Clinton, Senator Moynahan, and Bill Bradley. Then we also hear we should be working on social issues in this Chamber. The same people who are using a political club of gun control are willing to release people that use bombs and guns and weapons in destroying families' lives. Mr. Speaker, we can stop the release of these people, but if we do not, I urge those who have willingly said they should be released then to invite those terrorists to their districts and allow them to live in their districts. But I do not want them in mine.”
