                     QUIT TALKING--START LISTENING

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Madam Speaker, the President of the United States was 
addressing a group yesterday, and he came after, once again, the 
critics of his health care proposal. We got the health care bill that 
was filed in the

[[Page 21100]]

House, and that's what we've been working from. He has said that, if 
you like your policy, you can keep it. Obviously, he hasn't read the 
policy. I would recommend he read page 16, and he'll find out that what 
he's saying is not true.
  He went on and is quoted in talking about his critics as saying, 
``You've heard all the lies. I've got a question for all those folks: 
What are you going to do? What's your answer? What's your solution? And 
you know what? They don't have one.''
  Madam Speaker, I would like to encourage the President to quit 
talking so much and listen. There are lots of proposals out there. Read 
Human Events today. You'll see there are plenty of proposals. Quit 
talking. Start listening.
