                           GUESS WHOSE BILL?

  (Mr. SCHUMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam Speaker, we are now getting to the 11th hour on 
the crime bill, and there is lots of talk of compromise and other 
things in the air, and that is good as long as the President's four 
immutable principles stay strong, but one thing we have talked about is 
the prevention programs, and all of a sudden many from the other side, 
many from the other party, have done an about-face. We know that there 
were more prevention programs in the bill that passed the House in 
April which 65 Republicans voted for than there are today, and let me 
give my colleagues some of the programs that have come in for criticism 
and play a little game show: Guess Whose Bill?
  Olympic youth centers, 125 million for, quote, sporting and 
recreational equipment, meals, first aid, nutrition guidance; July 1994 
Republican Senate crime proposal.
  Child centered activities, 400 million for supervised sports 
programs, work force prepartion, horror of horrors, tutoring and 
mentoring programs which may involve social workers; July 1994, 
Republican Senate crime proposal.
  Juvenile drug trafficking, boys and girls clubs, all in the 
Republican Senate proposal that now so many on this side seek to 
oppose.
