         REPUBLICAN RADICAL APPROACH TO CUTTING SCHOOL LUNCHES

  (Mr. VOLKMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, as I traveled around 
my district over the weekend, I met with school administrators who are 
concerned about what is going to happen to the School Lunch Program 
under the Republican radical approach to cutting school lunches.
  One of the biggest things that became apparent to me as I traveled 
around and talked to people, and I asked people what they knew about 
the Contract With America, I found very few that ever heard of it and 
about two or three of all the people I talked to even knew anything 
about it.
  It seems all these speeches that are being given here every day about 
this contract are not soaking in back home.
  One thing they did ask me about invariably, wherever I went, what has 
happened to the Newt Gingrich investigation? What happened to the book 
deal? What happened to the COPAC investigation? Why is not something 
being done about that?
  That is what I hear about all over my district. That is what the 
people want to know: Why is not this House investigating the Speaker's 
actions and what he has done on the book deal and other things?
