                         CHICKEN LITTLE AWARDS

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, during the last couple weeks we have 
seen all sorts of medals and awards being handed out in the Olympics 
and the Grammys, but the awards being handed out in Congress today are 
the most important ones, for looking to the future.
  What are they? They are chickens running through the halls giving 
Chicken Little awards to many of the Republicans, because they are the 
ones last year who not one of them voted for the budget and made all 
sorts of wrong predictions. There were more dead wrong predictions than 
we can even talk about.

                              {time}  1210

  Let me just point out one. One Member came out and said this is 
really the Dr. Kevorkian plan for our economy. Oh, really? The economy 
seems to be booming more than we ever anticipated. Look at the 
Greenspan report. Look at everything else.
  I hope as we enter this year's budget it will not be partisan and we 
will deal with real facts and not Republican rhetoric.
