                          THE VICTIM IS TRUTH

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, over the last several months we have seen an 
assault on the truth from the liberal Democrats so vicious, so 
extraordinary, so mean, that it defies description.
  All I can ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle is have 
you no shame? Have you no confidence in your philosophy and beliefs to 
let the American people know the truth? From outright lies on the 
School Lunch Program and the school loan program to the scandalous 
muckraking regarding the Committee on Ethics, Democrats have willfully 
disregarded honest dialog.
  Republicans have not cut the School Lunch Program; everyone knows 
that fact. Republicans have had no plans to cut the school loan 
program; everybody knows that fact. Republicans are defending the 
middle class; everyone knows that. When it comes to the supposed secret 
deal regarding Rupert Murdock that was just referred to by the 
gentlewoman from California and some others out here today, everyone 
[[Page H4118]] knows that that deal was done by a liberal Democrat in 
the other body on behalf of the Chicago Tribune. It is shameful to 
suggest that it has something to do with Republicans in this 
institution. It is in fact a liberal Democrat who did it.
  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to a Democrat attack on Republican leaders 
and policies, there is only one victim, and that victim is the truth.
