                     AGAINST REPUBLICAN BUDGET PLAN

  (Mr. NADLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget plan cuts to ribbons 
programs that are crucial to the development of our Nation's youth and 
the security of our Nation's seniors. Head Start, the summer youth 
employment program, and student loan programs are shredded. Medicare 
and Medicaid are bled by $450 billion, doubling Medicare premiums and 
shredding the level of medical care, and forcing millions of families 
to choose whether to mortgage or sell their homes to pay for their 
parents' stays in nursing homes.
  Yet while the sledgehammer falls on the heads of millions of middle- 
and low-income Americans and all our seniors and children, the 
Republicans want to eliminate all Federal income taxes on profitable 
multinational corporations, and they want to give people earning 
$350,000 a year a $10,000 tax break.
  I do not support balancing our Nation's budget in this manner, on the 
backs of our seniors, the middle class, our children, and the poor. I 
commend the President for insisting on the wellness of seniors, 
children, and the environment, and I urge the President to continue to 
stand firm against the Republican budget agenda.
