                         THE BAD DEBT BOXSCORE

  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, as of the close of business yesterday, 
November 2, the Federal debt stood at $4,982,592,325,829.97. 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 
$18,914.00 as his or her share of that debt.
