                     JOIN TOGETHER TO SAVE MEDICARE

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House 

[[Page H 8913]]
  for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, once again I listen with great interest to 
my friend from Texas, and so many folks on this side of the aisle, who 
once again are engaged in an active policy not of saving Medicare, but 
of Medi-scare.
  Mr. Speaker, there is one lesson I learned since coming to this 
Congress. It is a sad lesson, but I have to tell it in all sincerity to 
the American people. So often what we see happen on this floor has 
absolutely nothing to do with policy and everything to do with 
politics.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a sad day when the guardians of the old order, so 
jealous of the majority that they once used to possess, will do 
absolutely anything to scare America's seniors.
  Here is the fact: Even if the budget were balanced today, we would 
still have problems with Medicare. It is the role of every American, 
Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike, to step forward to save 
the program.
  Once again, friends on this side of the aisle, join with us. Join 
with us and save this program.
