                          WHO ARE THE WOLVES?

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, talk about wolves in sheep's clothing. 
My gosh, we have got the Democratic President telling us that Medicare 
goes bankrupt by the year 2002. Then they backpedal for the next 6 
months saying we do not have to do anything about Medicare and anybody 
who does anything about Medicare to save Medicare is somehow a wolf in 
sheep's clothing.
  Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing on the budget issue. We have 
got a President who, as a candidate, said as President I would present 
a 5-year plan to balance the budget.
  The freshman class presented that. Mark Neumann presented that. I do 
not see the President supporting that.
  Then the Republicans come up with a 7-year plan that the President 
opposes. He says we can do it in 10 years. Then in New Hampshire he 
says, ``Well, I think it can be done in 7 years in May.'' Then in a 
press conference in October he says, ``I think we can reach it in 7 
years.''
  ``I think we could reach it in 8 years.'' ``I think we could reach it 
in 9 years.''
  I am confused. Help me out, Mr. President, make up your mind and side 
on the side of the American people.
