               THE EFFECT OF THE DEFICIT ON OUR CHILDREN

  (Mr. McINNIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, after hearing some of the comments earlier 
this morning, let me tell Members that the children that are in the 
direct line of fire are in the direct line of fire because they have 
got something called the Federal deficit which is about to explode in 
their lap.
  If we want to help the children of the future, we better do something 
about this deficit and we better be prepared to address the bureaucracy 
on the food School Lunch Program.
  Do not let the Democrats on the fringe left parade around and say we 
are taking food out of the children of this country. We are not doing 
that.
  We are just saying we have got to change the status quo. We need to 
introduce something called business management 101 to operate that 
program.
  That program is going to be run much efficiently under Republican 
control and a lot more kids are going to get fed under Republican 
control than the Democrats ever dreamed.
  In addition to all that, we are going to get that next generation out 
of the Federal deficit like the Democrats want to end it.
