                         THE BAD DEBT BOXSCORE

  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, at the close of business yesterday, March 
27, 1996, the Federal debt stood at $5,069,500,044,702.95.
  On a per capita basis, every man, woman and child in America owes 
$19,165.10 as his or her share of that debt.
  It is no wonder that babies come into this world crying.
