On the recordMay 10, 1995
I am here because my constituents have asked me to speak out for their interests. I want to read what they have said. James Gamwill wrote to me and said, ``I hope you will use your good office to prevent cuts in Medicare. It aids seniors whose health may not be so robust. The high cost of health care puts us in a financial bind.'' Or Louise Robertson, who wrote from Aloha, OR. She said, ``I urge you strongly to fight all attempts to diminish Social Security and Medicare benefits.'' Well, in their interests, I say shame on this Republican budget, because it cuts senior health care protection, it gives tax cuts to the wealthy, and it increases Pentagon spending. This budget hurts all working families, American families, and Oregon families. I think it is wrong, and I know that many Oregonians think it is wrong too.
