                           REMEMBER THE FACTS

  (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, it was with great interest that I listened 
to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from my friends on the left this 
morning.
  I thought it might be important to offer a few historical notes to 
put this House in perspective and to help the American people in the 
process.
  Mr. Speaker, one of the reasons I left private life to run for public 
office is because a previous liberal majority in this House, with the 
complicity of the President of the United States, raided 100 percent of 
the Social Security surplus for the upcoming fiscal year, even as they 
gave us the largest tax increase in American history and drove us still 
further into debt.
  Now, Mr. Speaker, I welcome this new-found accountability for fiscal 
responsibility; and to that extent, I welcome my friends from the left.
  But when it comes to false letters based on false assumptions sent to 
produce false newspaper articles, there I must draw the line, Mr. 
Speaker, because the left has told us what? Medicare was going to go 
away. School lunches were going to go away. None of that happened. 
Remember the facts.
