                        'TWAS THE HOLIDAY SEASON

  (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:

     'Twas the holiday season, and all through the House,
     Any hopes for a budget, the Speaker did douse.
     But the PAC checks were tacked to the chimney with care,
     In hopes that a tax cut soon would be there.

     With Bill in discussions, but Newt's jaws aflap,
     Our nation's fine workers must just take a nap.
     When what to our wondering eyes should appear,
     But GOP leaders spreading more fear:
     Senior citizens, women and children disabled,
     It seems any help for you soon will be tabled.

     Please don't be mad, but you're taking the fall,
     So the wealthiest wealthy can soon have it all.
     We Democrats greeted this warning with ire,
     But Newt and his friends want cuts even higher.

     So to every American watching tonight,
     Be assured all this the Democrats will fight.
