              LET US WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, did you hear the one about the liberal who 
markets the politics of fear?
  I am reminded by the previous speaker that in this Chamber, 2 years 
ago, we heard that the elderly would be thrown into the streets and 
that schoolchildren would be starved. That just was not true. And yet 
in the name of political hyperbole and fear, the liberals pull out the 
only card they know to market, to try and scare the H-E-double-hockey-
sticks out of seniors.
  The fact is, less than a year ago, our majority in Congress moved to 
save 90 percent of the surplus for Social Security. We currently are 
working on plans to save all of that surplus for today's seniors. Sad 
to say, the other side offers fear. We offer hope, opportunity and 
reality. There is a clear difference in America, and that is why 
together, as Americans, we can solve problems, if we avoid the partisan 
temptations of fear.
