                      SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

  (Mr. LIVINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I am a little bit puzzled by the speaker 
that preceded the gentlewoman who was just at the podium. I do not know 
where the gentleman gets his numbers, but the fact is that the 
emergency supplemental that is intended to repay the Defense Department 
for the missions directed by President Clinton in Haiti and Iraq and 
Bosnia and all the others is a $3.2 billion package, paid for by $1.8 
billion in defense rescissions or cuts and $1.4 billion in nondefense 
rescissions or cuts, and it nets out to a savings of $14 million.
  In other words, we are cutting $14 million more than we are spending.
  The gentleman's figures are totally inaccurate. I hope this statement 
for the Record will reflect these corrected amounts accordingly.
