Speaker. even Yitzhak Rabin and Yasir Arafat are talking to each other. None of us ever expected to see that happen. Why cannot this intolerable situation in the north of Ireland see the beginning of an end as well? Why cant we do more to encourage dialog among the parties involved?

Is it not entirely unAmerican to prevent an individual from presenting their views. and hypocritical at that. considering our other utterances? In just a few days.
