                  SUPPORT THE LABOR-HHS-EDUCATION BILL

not been born yet for this Nation, the best thing that you can do today 
is you can vote against the Labor-HHS appropriations bill.
  Let me ask a simple question: Which is worse, eliminating some 
ineffective programs today while still funding important initiatives, 
or leaving our children a legacy in which the only thing the Government 
can afford to do is pay for entitlements and interest on the debt, if 
that?
  This is a good bill. It deserves our support. It increases funding in 
important areas, like the National Institutes of Health. It eliminates 
funding in areas where it does not deserve to be funded. It 
consolidates a great deal of funding.
  Please, support it.
