                              RESCISSIONS

  (Mrs. CLAYTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, education funding was one of the 
casualties of the Republican rescission package.
  More cuts in education are planned. These cuts seem inconsistent.
  Education, as its first priority, teaches independence, self 
reliance, self sufficiency.
  Education is cut--student loans are eliminated--how will students be 
prepared for works?
  A welfare reform bill passed last week, aimed at moving the poor from 
welfare to work. However, with no provision for training or jobs, where 
will they work?
  These policies are puzzling. Education and work lead to opportunity. 
Opportunity is the foundation for living.
  One must wonder where our colleagues on the right are taking this 
Nation.
   [[Page H3983]] We are now preparing, next week, to take the money 
from the cuts and give the Nation's billionaires billions in tax 
relief.
  These policies will hurt low- and middle-income people.
  The only consistent pattern in the contract is its inconsistency.
  If we really want work, let us make a way.
