                     THE GINGRICH SOLUTION IS WRONG

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, Scott Paper lays off 11,000 workers; 
their top executive gets millions of dollars in stock options. AT&T 
lays off 40,000 employees; its top management gets huge bonuses. Revco 
Drugstore in Twinsburg, OH, lays off 1,100 people; 4 of their 
executives get $1 million each.
  The Newt Gingrich response: Cut education by $3 billion, cut Medicare 
by tens of billions of dollars, cut student loans by $4 billion. Why? 
Just to give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country.
  Mr. Speaker, the Gingrich solution is wrong.
