 THE ADMINISTRATION IS HIDING OMINOUS NUMBERS FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC

  (Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. In case you missed it, there was an ominous 
report in yesterday's Washington Post that said the administration is 
delaying for several weeks the congressionally mandated report on 
economic growth, job creation, and budget deficits, a report that's due 
right now.
  The administration said yesterday, We're not going to tell you what's 
in that report for several more weeks. Why? I will tell you why. They 
don't want to downplay the politically damaging deficit numbers, the 
unemployment numbers, and the economic growth, or lack of growth, 
numbers that are in that report.
  Why? Because it's an attempt to hide this record-breaking deficit as 
the Democrat leaders break arms to rush through this government 
takeover, the experiment in health care. That's why the administration 
is hiding ominous numbers from the American public.
