            WE MUST REFORM ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS TO SAVE THEM

  (Mrs. LUMMIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, the Congressional Budget Office informed us 
again yesterday what we already know about our job here in Congress, 
which is that we must reform entitlement programs in order to save 
them.
  We must save them so we can save ourselves from this unsustainable 
debt and deficit which faces us; and further, that if we are to do it 
by raising taxes, it will erode the economic recovery that we're 
already just beginning to have.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Senate Democrats to adopt the House Republican 
budget which will balance in 10 years, which will address our 
unsustainable debt and deficit, and put us on the road to recovery.
