                       WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, just like the wolf that hid in a sheepskin 
to kill his prey, so have the Republicans attempted to act as though 
they were trying to save Medicare.
  But finally, finally, the Republicans have shown us their true 
colors, as evidenced by Senator Dole and Speaker Gingrich's comments 
that they are really voting to kill Medicare.
  The Republican leaders comments on Medicare shows us that when it 
comes to delivering to the rich of America the obscene and bloated 
Republican-sponsored tax break, that they will say anything and even 
sell out America's seniors to appease their rich masters.
  Well, America is finally getting wise to the Republican half-truths 
and lies.
  Senator Dole opposed Medicare in 1965, and he also opposes it in 
1995.
  Just like the wolf in sheep's clothing, the Republicans have 
attempted to lure our seniors into a false sense of security, but 
Senator Dole's comments to the Conservative Union and the Speaker's 
comments to Blue Cross/Blue Shield have helped us sound the alarm bell 
to warn our seniors so we may avert this disaster.
