                        CONSPIRACY CONTRACT SHAM

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans and their rich medical 
doctor friends have entered into a conspiracy contract sham to take 
money earmarked for Medicare benefits from the elderly middle class.
  The middle class seniors worked for years and the Government took a 
part of their salaries each pay period, and put it in a trust fund so 
that when they stopped working or got sick, money would be available 
for their medical care.
  The conspiracy contract between the Republicans and their rich doctor 
friends allow the doctors to continue to charge high fees, and in some 
cases, for unnecessary medical procedures and for this, the rich 
doctors, through the American Medical Association, endorsed the 
Republican cutback of Medicare benefits.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a Republican conspiracy sham in another 
Republican contract against America.
