                    NOT THIS TURKEY ON THANKSGIVING

  (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, Speaker Gingrich is bringing his budget 
to serve to America's families at their Thanksgiving table. The 
Gingrich budget stands family values as we know them on their head. It 
means if this passes that the wealthiest families at your Thanksgiving 
table will get more, the working families at your Thanksgiving table 
will pay more. The poor will have great trouble. They will never get to 
the table. The elderly will have great trouble with health care. The 
young will not be able to get their lunches as easily and the students 
will not be able to get their loans as easily.
  This is not about how long it takes to balance the budget. This is 
who you stick your fork in as you balance the budget. The only thing 
standing between Speaker Gingrich's values and America's values is the 
President. The President must stand firm and say these are not 
America's traditional values and spare the American family being served 
this turkey on Thanksgiving.
