                 WHAT IS NOT IN THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, everybody is talking about what is in the 
President's budget. I am more concerned about what is out and not in 
the President's budget: namely, $1.4 trillion in new health care 
spending, which will be treated off-budget.
  What is next, Members? Will the national debt be taken off-budget? 
Think about it. Will the deficits be considered off-budget? Will they 
really go away?
  Let me say this: any health care spending plan today that is left out 
of the budget will be health care spending out of control tomorrow.
  We cannot fool the American people. The American people are going to 
foot the entire bill for health care, and we need it. Let us tell them 
the whole truth.
