I am disturbed about that. Somebody is lying. Are you lying, or is the gentleman from Georgia lying? If the taxpayers of America want to have those numbers, will you be willing to send them to them? Are you going to stand behind them?

He ain't going to tell the truth. I got a lawyer and doctor telling me how hard they work.

But he says, ``You know, we would not deny that it's good, but there's never been a proven case of a dentist giving somebody a disease from the hand.''

And he has said that, ``Give me the money. I will do a better job than those bureaucrats in Washington.''

Well, 2 percent of the money that is being cut from WIC represents money that the WIC program was not using.

the WIC program in the rescission bill is cut 2 percent, and the money that was cut is money that the WIC program is not using.

You already made the statement one of your surprises was the propaganda you get, and we have to admit it comes from both sides of the aisle. Do you feel that way too, Mr. Chambliss?

I think you are right, I think this is not about Newt Gingrich, it is not even about the Contract With America, or the Republican majority. It is about a change and challenge in the status quo. We, the American people, want less…

every day the Democrat Party stands up and they weep and they whine and they mourn about the Contract With America. In fact, there has been so much crying on the left side of the aisle that the EPA has had to declare it a wetlands. Because…

And the dentists have to pass on to their consumers. I know the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Chambliss] is a small businessman in Moultrie, GA, and I know, running a small business as he does down there, the Government is all over him even…

The Democrats did have the Congress, but the Republicans had the Senate for a while and the Republicans had the White House. So I think that we can take the blame equally. Both parties are to be blamed. But the fact is if we know it is…

You cannot do that. That is why we always have to bail out Somalia, Rwanda, and all the other countries in the world, because they mismanaged their resources. America has managed it. We have some food. You are talking about cutting, you…

Well, the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Norwood] on the subject of Government regulations and Government knows best. I know that as a dentist he practices dentistry, and I asked my dentist the last time I was there how many rubber gloves his…

What actually is happening on WIC, there is $25 million in the budget that is a carryover. They are not using that. It is money left over. It represents 2 percent. Now we got a deficit of over $200 billion. Each year we spend $200 billion…

we hear a lot about the Contract With America, often from Republicans, but often from the other side of the aisle as well and most of it is criticism. I do not see a solid alternative from them at this point now that we are in our third…

Let us just say it is an education bill, health care, welfare reform, and we stick in there, as are actual cases in years past, $58 million for the American Shipbuilding Co. in Tampa, FL, $11 million for a powerplant modernization for a…

If the distinguished fighter pilot and American hero will yield, what we feel so good about, I think being sophomores, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Hoke] and I am, to be on the team with the freshmen, but really to follow in the footsteps…

There is another angle to this, too. In my area, for example, Bulloch County, GA, Statesboro, GA, Georgia Southern University has a lot of growth. There are a lot of ladies who are widows now but they live on a family farm which is in a…

That says that when the President does this, then it comes back to the Congress and we sit on it. And what he actually vetoed out does not take place, but we do not ever have to vote on it again. It is just the same old----

That is right. Also what we are doing is we are making her dependent, because she may want to sell that farm so she can go into a long-term care home. We are saying you cannot do that. She wants to be independent. That is why she held onto…

It is not the tax of the income but the 500,000 sales value is treated like income for that year. For that year she might as well be a stockbroker on Wall Street.

The people who opposed it generally used this philosophical argument that it tipped the balance of power. But what they were really saying is I want my pork. And I think we saw, for example, getting back to the earthquake, on the…

I would like to register a protest. That is a little unfair. The rest of us started 2 years, and the gentlewoman just 2 months. I am sure she blitzed it.

$30,000 to $50,000 per year per prisoner. While some wealthy law firm is going around with endless appeals, not worrying about the victim, not worrying about the detriment to society and just having a good time at it.

I would say they are also the fuel and a little more volatile than steam in many respects. The changes are real though. We are not turning back. America is going to change, I hope, because Congress has changed. We have left the foxhole. We…
