STOP THE CLINTON PENSION GRAB
(Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, investment of pension funds into economically
targeted investments, or ETI's, is another questionable plan advocated
by the Clinton administration to get its hands on more of the citizens'
hard-earned money. This policy would divert pension funds away from
financially sound investments into politically correct investments.
The Democrats have absolutely no plan to save Medicare from
bankruptcy and now the administration wants to jeopardize the hard-
earned pensions of millions of American seniors and at the American
people's financial expense, $1

million for the clearinghouse to promote these risky, low-return
investments.
Mr. Speaker, it seems the administration is more interested in
putting high-priced programs first and the welfare of America's
retirees second. We must stop the Clinton pension grab by passing the
Pension Protection Act of 1995.
