     BREWSTER-HUNTER GIVES AMERICANS THEIR MONEY'S WORTH

  (Mr. HUNTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, my thanks to Sally K. Dornan of Donegal Hill 
that my colleague, the gentleman from California [Mr. Dornan] just 
happened to mention.
  Mr. Speaker, the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations took the 
well and talked about the programs that I have requested, including the 
pesticide program for the $200 million in losses that my farmers have 
taken in the Imperial Valley, and characterized that as pork, and 
advise me that, if I was going to want to cut pork, that should begin 
at home, but let me just say, Mr. Speaker, what I have not asked for.
  I say to my colleagues, ``I haven't asked for midnight basketball 
games, and I haven't asked for arts and crafts, and I haven't asked for 
dancing lessons, and you know something? I don't think the American 
people asked for those things either in a crime bill. Do you know what 
they do want? They want more prisons.''
  Mr. Speaker, the Brewster-Hunter bill that will be offered on the 
motion to recommit gives us a billion dollars for more prisons, more 
than the conference report. They want more police, and the Brewster-
Hunter bill gives $2 billion more in cops, and the Hunter-Brewster bill 
gives not a dime in social spending.
  The American people are paying for this. Let us give them their 
money's worth.
