                         MEDICARE AND VETERANS

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, as we all celebrate V-E Day and the 
wonderful generation that saved Europe from Nazi Germany and Fascist 
Italy, what are we doing to them? Well, the Republicans are trying to 
take their Medicare and slash it away. What a way to salute them. This 
is the generation that saved the world. This is the generation that 
paid for the Marshall plan to rebuild the world, and now we are telling 
them they have also got to pay for the deficit so that the fat cats can 
have more tax cuts.
  That is not fair. That is not the America they fought for. I hope 
that all this Medicare scare goes away.
