“I would just point out, because I think it is important and perhaps the gentleman is unaware, that sadly this President has already violated the promise he made right there about keeping the Social Security surplus intact in sending two billions of those dollars to keep troops in Bosnia.

The cautionary tale for all of us, Republicans and Democrats, is this: We owe it to seniors, today and tomorrow, to end the disinformation, to deal with them straight. I know the gentleman from New Jersey shares that sentiment. But for the historic record, as the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means pointed out in a letter to the President, as he pointed out in yesterday's edition of the Washington Post, this President has already spent $2 billion of the Social Security surplus.”
