October 26, the federal debt stood at 

[[Page S 16106]]
$4,973,674,803,905.53. We are still about $27 billion away from the $5 
trillion mark, unfortunately, we anticipate hitting this mark sometime 
later this year or early next year.
  On a per capita basis, every man, woman, and child in America owes 
$18,880.15 as his or her share of that debt.
