“I want to acknowledge the compelling story of this incredible Member of Congress from Texas, Nick Lampson, who placed on the Record the story of his family and what Social Security has meant not just to seniors but to the disability insurance program and the insurance program for widows caring for children or widowers and millions of people. We never really know if we will be the one out of five families struck in America with tragedy beyond our ability to control and whether we will have the insurance to weather bad times. And is it not a credit to his mother and their family that every one of those six children has matured into a productive and really priceless citizen for our country. We need more citizens like Nick Lampson in this Chamber. We would build a different and better country with that kind of sensitivity and understanding. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to continue what has become my weekly tradition of clocking the Republican raid on the Social Security trust fund.”
