On the recordOctober 10, 1995
I always thought when they talked about Mediscare, they were talking about the Republicans who were mediscared to come out here on the floor and explain these cuts that they are making, and they still have not as of today. We have yet, through this very afternoon, now that we are well into October, we have yet to have a Republican Member come on the floor and explain the way seniors are going to be cut. They are saving all that for this surprise package that I suppose will be presented to us next week. At least we have a date for that. We have no date for a report on the ethics problems involving Speaker Gingrich. We have no date for dealing with the problem of lobbyists giving gifts to Members of this Congress. We have no date with reference to reforming the 50-year-old lobby registration laws. But they have given us 1 day next week for the surprise package to cut $270 billion from Medicare, have they not?
