                              $2,000 REWARD

                                 ______


                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 4, 1995
  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans refuse to tell the American 
people how they will balance the budget, cut taxes, and increase 
defense spending.
  On November 22, 1994 I offered a $1,000 campaign contribution to any 
Republican Member who signed the so-called Contract With America and 
who plans on running for reelection who could explain in detail what 
cuts he or she would make to achieve a balanced budget in fiscal 1996.
  No one has taken me up on the offer.
  The Republican Contract With America will mean the destruction of 
Medicare, education aid, cancer research, and other programs the 
American people support.
  The Republicans know that and refuse to explain it to the American 
people.
   Mr. Speaker, I double my offer: I will contribute $2,000 for a 
charity in the district of any Republican who can explain exactly what 
they will cut to achieve a balanced budget while increasing defense and 
cutting taxes.
