                     A REAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, just as the seniors in Texas and 
all across the country are concerned about prescription drug coverage 
and the action of the conferees, so are those in Illinois. I met with a 
group of seniors on Saturday, and they are waiting in anticipation of a 
real plan, a real program, and they are saying, Mr. Speaker, that they 
do not want a watered-down version. They do not want a pig in a poke. 
They want something that is real, meaningful.
  Please conferees, listen to the seniors. Let us come up with a real 
prescription drug plan.
