           TIME TO UNMASK REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP

  (Mr. LEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, the Republican campaign strategy has been to 
hide the Republican congressional leadership. Maybe that is one reason 
we are still here in D.C. But the need to end this session has forced 
the Republican leadership into the open, showing true Republican 
colors.
  Take the health field as an example. It appears that, in the bills 
today, no patients' bill of rights, no prescription drugs, no help for 
legal immigrant kids and pregnant women, shortchanging hospitals in 
need to give a bundle to their HMO contributors.
  President Clinton will veto these bills. I hope the President will 
take his fight against a do-harm Republican Congress to the countryside 
and use this Halloween period to unmask who the Republican opposition 
really is and is about.
