                         THE FIGURES DON'T LIE

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to the gentleman from 
Rhode Island [Mr. Kennedy] and his constituent, it is precisely because

will be raising benefits for Medicare recipients over the years from 
$4,800 in 1995 to $6,700 in 2002.
  I say to my colleagues, Look closely. The figures don't lie. The math 
is here. Believe the real math and not the new math of alleged school 
lunch cuts and all the other politics of fear being propagated by the 
guardians of the old order who always play upon the politics of envy 
instead of having the vision for the future this American nation needs.
