                    DOLE LEAVING SCENE OF THE CRIME

  (Mr. SCHUMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, Bob Dole can run but he cannot hide. For 
the last year and a half, Bob Dole has led this Congress to cut 
Medicare, cut education, destroy the environment, attack a woman's 
right to choose, and pander to the gun lobby.
  Why is Bob Dole leaving the scene of the crime? Because he is getting 
caught in the crossfire, minimum wage, health care, Medicare. He knows 
what he should do but he cannot. The Republican right will not let him. 
Senator Dole is caught in the right wing's claws, and the reach of the 
right is long, and their hold is tight. Make no mistake about it. 
Leaving Washington will not break the Gingrich grip, Bob Dole. Bob Dole 
can run but he cannot hide.
