                A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A SERIOUS SOLUTION

  Mr. DOMENICI. Thank you, Mr. President. First, I just happened onto 
the floor while our leader was speaking. I compliment him for the 
subject matter and for what he said. It is obvious we have a very 
serious American problem, and that is Medicare, and a 
[[Page S6165]] very serious solution recommended by trustees, four of 
whom were the President's, two of whom are private citizens. I think 
our Republican leader has outlined an approach which might resolve this 
issue.
  On the other hand, I came for another purpose. Obviously, most of my 
time and attention these days is devoted to how we get a balanced 
budget by the year 2002. But I do not choose to speak about that today.
