                            LEAVING CONGRESS

  (Mr. MILLER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, over the last couple of weeks 
Senator Bob Dole has looked at the failed record of this Republican 
Congress that he and Speaker Gingrich have led for the last 18 months, 
and Bob Dole is now following the American people, because the American 
people have looked at the record of this Congress and the intent of the 
Republicans in their efforts to slash Medicare, to slash Medicaid, 
hurting working families, refusing to raise the minimum wage, taking 
school lunches away from children, and savaging the environment, and 
the American public is running away from the Republican congress in 
overwhelming numbers.
  Bob Dole has now decided he is going to run away from the Republican 
Congress, that he is going to get away from this Congress that has 
represented the worst that the American people have come to expect from 
their Government, not the best, the Congress that seeks to continue to 
divide America, not bring America together.
  Bob Dole has looked at the Congress and is running away. The American 
people should continue to do the same.
