On the recordMarch 3, 1994

during the last couple weeks we have seen all sorts of medals and awards being handed out in the Olympics and the Grammys, but the awards being handed out in Congress today are the most important ones, for looking to the future. What are they? They are chickens running through the halls giving Chicken Little awards to many of the Republicans, because they are the ones last year who not one of them voted for the budget and made all sorts of wrong predictions. There were more dead wrong predictions than we can even talk about. Let me just point out one. One Member came out and said this is really the Dr. Kevorkian plan for our economy. Oh, really? The economy seems to be booming more than we ever anticipated. Look at the Greenspan report. Look at everything else. I hope as we enter this year's budget it will not be partisan and we will deal with real facts and not Republican rhetoric.
