                      READ THE REPORT ON MEDICARE

  (Mr. HOKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOKE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge Americans to read a 
report that was filed by the trustees of the Social Security trust fund 
and the Medicare trust fund. It is a short report. It is only 14 pages.
  Mr. Speaker, I think it is our duty to urge senior citizens and 
Americans of all ages who care about Medicare for themselves but also 
for their children and their grandchildren, as we care about it for our 
parents and our grandparents, that they read this report. They can 
receive the report. It is 14 pages. It is a 14-page summary of the 
annual report to the American citizens. They can receive it by calling 
202-224-3121. Ask to be connected to your Representative's office. At 
that number, 202-224-3121, ask for a summary of the annual report of 
the Medicare trustees.
  It is factual. It is nonpoliticized. It is something, frankly, that 
many Members of the other side of the aisle do not want you to read, 
but it explains very clearly what is going on with Medicare.
