                           TELL IT LIKE IT IS

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, I have asked groups of people back home 
if the news media have explained to them that the Republican School 
Lunch Program is increasing by over 4 percent per year for 5 years or 
that we are increasing funding for WIC, Women Infants, and Children's 
Program, by over $1 billion over 5 years? Their answer is they have not 
heard.
  The Democrats started the lie about the cuts and the news media have 
compounded that lie. We are increasing funding for school lunch 
programs and also for WIC. I wish the other side would tell the truth, 
and likewise for the news media. It seems only Rush Limbaugh is telling 
the truth.
