               REPUBLICAN POLICIES NOT CREATING NEW JOBS

  (Mr. SCHUMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, on this golden anniversary of the 
Republican Contract on America, I want to remind everyone of a four-
letter word that Speaker Gingrich has not uttered--jobs.
  Speaker Gingrich's policies have not and will not create one new job 
or make the life of one American better.
  But it will make the lives of millions of Americans worse:
  The elderly who will see Medicare destroyed.
  The college kids who will pay thousands of dollars more for student 
loans.
  And the children who will not have school lunches to eat.
  In fact, for all Speaker Gingrich's talk, only one bill has been 
signed into law so far--congressional accountability. When we passed 
this last year, it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate.
  Let us face it, it is no great accomplishment to vote on the first 5 
items in a pollsters top 10 list.
  Speaker Gingrich promised a revolution.
  So far this is more like the phony war.
