                          NEANDERTHAL ATTITUDE

  (Ms. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks).
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday the gentleman from California [Mr. 
Stark] suggested that our distinguished colleague, the gentlewoman from 
Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson], gained her expertise on health care from 
pillow talk. He was referring to the fact that the spouse of the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut is a doctor.
  Pillow talk? Mr. Speaker, here is a message for the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Stark]: This is the 1990's, not the 1950's. That sort 
of attitude went out with hula hoops, bobby sox, and Sandra Dee movies.
  You have to wonder about the peculiar attitude of the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Stark] toward women. Mr. Speaker, is his thinking so 
grounded in the past that he cannot adapt to the present? Is that the 
reason he supports a Government-run medicine scheme that history has 
already proved to be unworkable?
  Mr. Speaker, in any event, Chairman Stark owes the gentlewoman from 
Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson] and all the women of the House an apology.
  Let us keep the health care debate where it should be--on the floor 
of the Congress.
