                        WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT?

  (Mrs. KELLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, where is our President? While we are here 
working conducting necessary business, I understand our President is 
out campaigning. He is not in the Middle East solving problems. He is 
not working on North Korean peace, but he is out campaigning. Mr. 
President, the town of New Castle, the Village of Chappaqua, needs you 
here to work with us to help them. Because you chose to veto the 
Treasury Postal bill, the supervisor of the town I represent, the town 
where Chappaqua is, has indicated she may have to raise taxes, your 
taxes in Chappaqua, Mr. President, by 3.5 percent to cover the cost of 
the extra police protection for you.
  The citizens of Chappaqua ought not to have to carry this burden 
because you chose to veto a bill. This burden, Mr. President, is just 
one example of where you have put politics over people. Mr. President, 
please stop campaigning. Come back to Washington and do your job.
