                 GERALD FETCHER SPEAKS FOR THE CHILDREN

                                 ______


                     HON. MARSHALL ``MARK'' SANFORD

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 7, 1995

  Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, for the past few weeks a constituent of 
mine, Gerald Fetcher, has paid for an ad to appear in the Washington 
Times. The text of the ad follows:

           ``An Appeal to the Congress of the United States''

       Please do not give in to the demands of President Clinton. 
     We must balance the budget in seven years. America is already 
     five trillion dollars in debt, which is over $18,000 per 
     person (including newborn babies). Kids don't have the right 
     to vote, they can't vote on their own future.
       It is very selfish for politicians to appeal to voters by 
     giving them more benefits (to get votes), and destroy the 
     future of America.
       Please hang in there Congress and Senate, do not give in to 
     the selfish demands of President Clinton.

  I commend Mr. Fetcher for taking the initiative to make sure that his 
voice is heard. He speaks for most Americans. Balance the budget now.
