            CONGRESS CUT NOT ONE PENNY FROM ISRAEL OR EGYPT

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, everybody realizes that cuts must be 
made, but there is something definitely wrong here. Congress cuts 
seniors in America. Congress cuts housing in America. Congress cuts 
kids in America. Congress cuts education in America. Congress cuts 
farmers in America. Congress cuts services in America. Congress cuts 
bridges and roads in America.
  I might be able to accept that, but, on the other hand, Congress did 
not cut one penny from the aid to Egypt or Israel. Now, a Congress that 
can find money for Israel and Egypt while cutting all of this in 
America, in my opinion, is not only misdirected but out of touch with 
America.
  I am going to vote ``no'' on this budget. We should treat everybody 
alike; even if it is like dogs, treat everybody alike.
