                   WHO IS IMMORAL AND WHO IS CORRUPT?

  (Mr. RANGEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, my dear friends and colleagues, yesterday I 
was attacked by one of my Republican friends as supporting a corrupt 
and immoral welfare system, and then he scurried off the floor. This 
morning, I was attacked by my Speaker for being wedded to an immoral 
welfare system. But it was not on the floor. It was in a plush hotel in 
New York City, being dined by some of the most successful businessmen 
that we have.
  Mr. Speaker, wherever you are, whether it is old policy or Old 
Testament or New Testament, leave that beautiful hotel before you come 
back to your job and visit the lesser among us, visit those who are 
hungry, some without homes, without jobs, and without hope and see what 
is corrupt and immoral when we in this House have seen fit to cut from 
these people $69 billion.
  Is this to reduce the deficit, is this for our national interests? 
No, it is for special interests.
  Let us see who is immoral and who is corrupt.
