Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, with respect, this amendment is all Henry and no Kissinger. It is exquisitely dumb. Even a cursory examination of the statutory authority shows that this body does not have the authority to address the Social Security trust fund in reconciliation. Even a cursory examination of the media reports will show that Republicans do not support cutting Social Security.

If my colleagues are concerned about the way Social Security is being run, as we all are, they should support the President's nominee to run Social Security.

All this amendment will do is add ambiguity to this resolution. If you are foolish enough to vote for it, you will never own your own home. Vote on Amendment No. 2180

Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, please read section 3003 of the budget resolution. It says, bigger than Dallas, that the Republicans have no intention of cutting Medicare or Medicaid benefits.

This is a bad amendment. Please vote against it. Vote on Amendment No. 1644
