The budget we are now considering does not cap the COLA for those receiving social security. it does not cap the COLA for those receiving a pension from the railroad retirement system. it caps the COLA for only one groupFederal and military retirees. I do not think that this House intends to single out retired members of our armed services for an unequal burden. I hope this House does not mean to tell those who have spent a career protecting our borders in the Immigration and Naturalization Service or in the Customs Service that they should now be willing to sacrifice disproportionately. I am not willing to ask that from them. I think the budget we pass must be fair.
