Speech #990218339

I would point out that this bill simply returns the Secretary of the Treasury to the position most Members of Congress and the public already thought he was in. that is. that the debt limit is absolute and cannot be avoided by manipulating trust fund reserves. Additionally. HR. 5050 contains three miscellaneous changes: First. it will suspend benefits for deported Nazi war criminals. Second. it will provide interim benefits to disability claimants who have received a favorable decision by an administrative law judge. but whose claims have been delayed by more than 90 days by the Appeals Council. and third. it will terminate the Government representative project. which has provoked widespread criticism. and which was recently ruled unconstitutional by the Federal Judge. I urge my colleagues to support this important legislation. which is strongly supported by AARP.
