                   THE FIRES OF MEDICARE ARE BURNING

  (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, I cannot help but notice that my friend, 
the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Doggett], continually wants to go with 
budget overruns and time overruns. The fact is this: The best way to 
preserve Medicare is to stand now to save it, not play the old whining 
game of the liberals saying, ``We need to spend more and more,'' but 
find a way to say ``Yes, spend more money, but spend it more 
effectively.''
  My colleague, the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Salmon], made mention 
of the fire in my district and the fact that firefighters had to stand 
and deliver.
  We have a crisis that is just as imminent as that fire. The fires of 
Medicare are burning. If we really want to save it, then my friends on 
this side, the liberals, come with us, let us work to solve the 
problem, and quit playing the sordid politics of the past.
