the President has hired Robert Bennett, the noted defense attorney, to defend him against charges of sexual harassment. Can Bennett defend the President against charges of factual harassment? This is where the President says one thing, but does another. His health care plan was supposed to promote health security for all, but in reality would lower health care quality while costing a million jobs. He promised to end welfare as we know it, but if he has a plan he will not show it. His plan to fight crime spends more money on social programs than on building prisons, and we all remember his promise for a middle-class tax cut. Mr. Speaker, the President must answer many charges in the months to come. The most serious of all to the American people is the President's penchant for factual harassment.
