                 PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROPOSED BUDGET CUTS

  (Mr. O'HALLERAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deep concerns 
over the proposed budget cuts made in the President's budget and the 
skyrocketing deficits that will leave our children and grandchildren 
with trillions more in debt.
  While it is imperative that we rein in wasteful government spending 
and get our national debt under control, we cannot do so at the expense 
of the men and women living in rural and Tribal communities and our 
seniors.
  This budget proposal slashes trillions from healthcare programs that 
millions of seniors, working families, and veterans rely on every day. 
Additionally, it would cut infrastructure programs and funding for 
critical projects in rural America and hurt farming families.
  This is not how we are going to curb spending and get our fiscal 
house in order. We need to act now to pass a bipartisan budget that 
addresses the debt crisis and invests in the future of our Nation.
