                      JUST SAY NO TO ``HEMP-DOPE''

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address theHouse for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I want to know what these guys are 
smoking. TheHemp-Dope ticket expects to cut taxes by $550 billion, 
increase military spending, balance the budget, and, at the same time, 
promises not to decimate Medicare and Social Security.
  As always, their plan cuts taxes for the wealthy first, then leaves 
the hard spending cuts for future Presidents. That is what I would call 
a political hit and run.
  Moreover, Mr. Speaker, Hemp-Dope wants to abolish the Department of 
Education at a time when our young people will have to compete in a 
changing global economy. Simply put, our Nation cannot afford another 
decade of voodoo Reaganomics, which bankrupted us in the first place.
  As the President said, we are on the right track to the 21st century. 
Just say no to Hemp-Dope.
