                           SAY IT AGAIN, SAM

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Gibbons] 
is one of the authentic heroes of this body. This man was a paratrooper 
in World War II. He reclaimed Europe from the Nazi blitzkrieg. He has 
served the public interest from the day he was old enough to do 
anything. He loves that flag more than anyone.
  As ranking member on the Committee on Ways and Means, he has served 
there longer and knows more about Medicaid and Medicare than anyone in 
this body, and yesterday he had every right to blow up because he found 
there were no facts, there was no plan, there were no details, and that 
is very troubling.
  We are being accused of trying to scare senior citizens. Well, if 
their plan is so non-scary, why can they not show it? The best 
assurance he got was if they ever get a plan, they will give 1 whole 
day of hearings to that plan. That is wrong.
  Say it again, Sam; say it again, Sam; and say it again, Sam.
