                    WE NEED TO REMEMBER OUR SENIORS

  (Mr. HONDA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HONDA. Mr. Speaker, my comments are very brief, and it is about 
we need. We need to remember our seniors. We need to remember who they 
are, where they came from. We need to remember the kinds of work they 
have done in order to attain the age that they have.
  My mother needs prescription drugs, and I think that what we have to 
look at, we need to look at everybody's prescription capsule, the 
container, and on the container is a label that says expiration date. 
We need to have a good prescription drug to address all the seniors of 
this country so that we do not need to worry about them, that they do 
not need to worry about whether prescription drugs are going to be too 
expensive or not. We need to take care of business, and we need to do 
it soon.
