                   MISSING INGREDIENTS IN BUDGET PLAN

  (Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, when I talk to people at home, their biggest 
fear is that their children will not have the same future as they have 
had. One way to change that is to balance the budget so their children 
can have more jobs and more opportunities.
  The Republicans have come out with a plan. The President says, 
``Well, I am for a balanced budget plan.'' Well, where is his plan?
  We have come out with a reasonable plan that increases education and 
job training and student loan programs by $25.7 billion over the next 7 
years; Medicare spending by $724 billion over what we spent over the 
last 7 years; a $40.6 billion increase for veterans and welfare 
programs. All the important programs are increasing, but yet my friends 
across the aisle keep saying these are cuts.
  That is incredible. Not only is the truth missing, Mr. Speaker, but 
also the President's plan to balance the budget.
