Congressman Michael C. Burgess (R-26th TX) address the floor concerning a recent letter sent by a few Members of Congress, incluing fellow North Texan Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-30th TX), to the United Nations requesting their oversight in the upcoming November elections. Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, this morning I just want to draw a sharp criticism against Members of this House who have sent a letter to Kofi Annan of the United Nations asking for United Nations monitors at our elections in November. Mr. Speaker, I will have to admit there are people in my district, a great many constituents in my district who do not understand what goes on in Washington. We have a candidate for the highest office in the land who talks about some vague references to foreign leaders who would prefer him. We have a judiciary that seems to have its eye on the international courts. And now we have Members of this body asking for U.N. observers at our elections. We have got borders that are so porous as to be a joke. The people in my district rightly ask, ``Does serenity mean anything in Washington?'' Five Minute Floor Statement on Tuesday, July 6, 2004.
