                   BUDGET MUST INCLUDE HYDE AMENDMENT

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong 
support of the nearly 2.5 million children whose lives have been saved 
by the Hyde amendment.
  This landmark legislation has been a part of every budget in Congress 
that we have passed since 1976. Now, this amendment is threatened by 
liberals in Congress who want to force taxpayers to pay for abortions. 
This is wrong.
  As a doctor, I know that the dignity of life is a fundamental truth. 
To turn our backs on this amendment would not only subvert the will of 
the American people, it will cost lives.
  By eliminating the Hyde amendment, Democrats want to expand unlimited 
access to abortion services at taxpayers' expense. Any budget that we 
pass must include the Hyde amendment.
