                  104TH CONGRESS SCARIEST ON HALLOWEEN

  (Ms. DeLAURO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, the scariest things this Halloween are 
the tricks and treats being doled out by the Republican-led Congress. 
The problem is that the American people get all the tricks, while 
lobbyists get all the treats.
  When lobbyists come knocking on the doors of this House there are 
plenty of GOP goodies to go around. If you come dressed as a golfer--
you will be treated to a gift ban bill that does not ban lobbyist-paid 
golf trips.
  If you come dressed as a corporate big-wig or millionaire--you will 
be treated to more than your share of the Republican's $245 billion tax 
cut. And, if you come dressed as a doctor--you will be treated to 3 
billion dollars' worth of goodies in the GOP Medicare bill.
  But, if you come dressed as a senior citizen, a student or a veteran, 
a working man or woman, there are no treats, only tricks. The scariest 
thing this Halloween may just be the 104th Congress.
