I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding this time to me. Mr. Speaker. I spent a good part of last month responding to reporters questions about what I thought about Zoe Baird. or Kimba Woods. and whether I ever hire illegal aliens. and questions about gays in the military. They wanted to know if I had a chauffeur and other perks of office. And then the press asked me why I was spending all my time on these issues and not the important issues like the Federal budget deficits and the economy. I told them. "The only time I spend on these issues is when you call and ask me about them." We had a momentous moment last week when the President walked down this aisle. and spoke at the dias. behind me and alerted the Nation to the fact that we have budget deficits that simply have to be addressed.
