                        MERRY CHRISTMAS, SENIORS

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, there is a chill in the air in many 
cities in America, so people start thinking about the holidays and 
doing their holiday shopping.
  Well, if my colleagues have any people on their holiday list, like I 
do, who are on Medicare, the Gingrich Republicans have just shown what 
they better given them, because last night, and today, they are giving 
them a huge increase in part B premiums.
  So, if my colleagues have Medicare people on their shopping list, get 
a pretty box and stuff cash in it, because what they are going to need 
is another $11 a month, $132 a year, just to get through 1996.
  ``Merry Christmas, seniors,'' from the Gingrich Republicans.
