            SINGLE PARENT HOMES A RECIPE FOR SOCIAL DISASTER

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to consider these two 
related statistics.
  Seventy percent of juvenile delinquents in State reform institutions 
lived in single-parent homes or with someone other than their natural 
parents.
  This is a telling statistic. Here is what makes it so frightening.
  According to some projections, only 30 percent of white children and 
only 6 percent of all black children born in 1980 will live with both 
parents through the age of 18.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a recipe for social disaster.
  Yet, instead of joining us in changing the welfare system, the 
liberals come to this floor day in day out and whine, moan, and distort 
the facts. Why is that?
  Could it be that they have a vested interest in the current system?
  You see if you follow the money you find that Government bureaucrats' 
special interest PAC's gave overwhelmingly to liberal Democrats. In 
fact, the largest Government employees PAC gave 99 percent of its 
contributions to liberal Democrats.
  So when my liberal Democrat colleagues come down here and defend the 
failed policies of the past while professing their compassion for the 
children, ask yourself, Who are they really speaking for?
