                     TIME FOR THE PRESIDENT TO LEAD

  (Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, the most frightening thing today 
is the fact that we have a President that is not leading, but that he 
engages in fear tactics to scare the elderly about Medicare, when the 
fact is there is only 2 percent difference in the Medicare plan that we 
have and what the President has, $138 difference over a whole year in 
the year 2002.
  The fact of the matter is the President is not concerned about 
Medicare, he is concerned about AmeriCorps, he is concerned about all 
the liberal social programs that he wants to spend dollars on and 
bankrupt our economy and not provide a future for our children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time the President starts to lead us into the 21st 
century and save this Nation from economic disaster. It is time to save 
the future for my 13-year-old daughter and my 24-year-old son. It is 
time for the President to be the President and lead this Nation and do 
the right thing.
