                           MORE WAYS TO SAVE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Coach 
Ray Tanner and the talented players of the University of South Carolina 
Gamecocks for winning the College World Series of Baseball at Omaha, 
Nebraska.
  When it comes to reducing Washington's out-of-control spending, 
Republicans continue to put forward ``more ways to save.'' One such 
proposal is this week's YouCut bill introduced by Congressman Phil 
Gingrey to save taxpayers $1.2 billion in 10 years by prohibiting 
taxpayer funding for union activities. Federal employee unions are 
subsidized by hardworking taxpayers while they engage in lobbying and 
political activities. This costs the taxpayers over $100 million a 
year. Americans should be alarmed about a $13 trillion deficit. We 
should note the images of riots in Greece. What, I ask, will it take 
for real change to take place here?
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
