On the recordSeptember 10, 1996
I do not think you call them anything but, the new round of attack ads being aired on television stations around the country and paid for by the AFL-CIO. These are television ads orchestrated by the big labor bosses of the AFL-CIO in Washington, airing exclusively in the congressional districts of incumbent Republicans, and they are part and parcel of an orchestrated campaign by the AFL-CIO to help the National Democratic Party win back control of the House of Representatives. These new ads follow on the heels of their MediScare ads, where they distorted our efforts to preserve and to strengthen Medicare and protect it from bankruptcy by increasing annual spending for the program at a rate of 7 percent as opposed to the 14-percent annual growth rate of Medicare in recent years. That is to say, increasing spending for Medicare at twice the rate of inflation as opposed to three times the rate of inflation.
