                            SAVING MEDICARE

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Madam Speaker, Republicans in the House this week 
celebrated the 1-year anniversary of the Contract With America. That 
contract was and is a promise to the American people to reform the way 
things are done around here and we delivered. Now we are making a 
promise to preserve and strengthen Medicare. We intend to deliver 
again.
  The shameless demagoguery that our liberal Democrat colleagues are 
engaging in will not stop us. The false TV ads put out by special 
interest groups will not stop us. The deliberate deception of the 
American people by a liberal minority with no solutions of its own will 
not stop us. We will deliver.

  Mr. Speaker, for too long our Nation was plagued by a liberal 
majority party that was satisfied with sacrificing the future of our 
children to sustain its power. Our new majority has already begun to 
change the priorities of Congress. The Republicans will not let this 
generation or our future generations down. We promise to save Medicare. 
We will deliver.
