                             READ YOUR LIPS

  (Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address 

[[Page H13147]]
  the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress, I ask my 
Republican colleagues to read your lips. Balance the budget before you 
cut $245 billion in taxes, before you cut $270 billion in Medicare, 
before you cut educational funding.
  Let us work bipartisanly on a balanced budget, but not by cutting 
Medicare and Medicaid, not by cutting and raising premium costs for 
seniors and limiting seniors' ability to choose their own physician. We 
can work bipartisanly on a balanced budget but not by cutting Medicare 
and education.
  Read your own lips. Balance the budget without cutting $245 billion 
in taxes.
