mcgovern: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. mcgovern: i have no disagreement with the gentlelady from north carolina in terms of trying to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in government. i think we all -- are all for a leaner government, but we're not for a meaner government and that's what the republican policies is about, a meaner government. there is a story i'll submit for the record that -- g.o.p. medicare plan could lead to rationing. making it more difficult for our senior citizens to get health care by basically obliterating medicare. you can save a few short bucks in the short term but not help them in the long term. i don't know how that's right. i didn't talk about the past in my opening statement. the gentlelady did. i want the record clear about the past and how we got in this mess. when bill clinton left office we had -- we eliminated the deficit and we were paying down the debt. we had all-time high job growth. geo

george did, thomas jefferson of course is the great jefferson scholar but garrey did a book, george mcgovern did lincoln - get so the sort of mix of historians and long historians looking at the presidency is telling the basic story, but also giving your own sort of individuals been, and he asked me to do the johnson book and i guess that he figured i would put my individuals been on it. i agreed to it because arthur asked me and i had great respect for him. i knew him from the papers of thomas jefferson and we were both on the advisory committee for that. and also because paul was the editor who's also the general series editor for the

mcgovern. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for three minutes. mr. mcgovern: thank you. madam speaker, i rise in strong opposition to the ryan budget before the house today. i'm pleased that the rules committee has made the submitted substitute budget in order so we can have a full debate on our nation's priorities over the next several years and in my view the ryan budget represents exactly the wrong priorities. it would eliminate, eliminate medicare as we know it, forcing seniors to pay thousands of dollars more every year for their health care. it would bring back the doughnut hole, allowing insurance companies to once again discriminate baited on pre-existing conditions and kick young people off their parents' insurance plans. it would slash needed investments in education, infrastructure, medical research, environmental protection and hunger programs. and it would still result in deficits as far as the eye can see. and at the same time the ryan budget

papers, and conservatives everywhere, some democrats were upset by the looming endorsement of george mcgovern. the focus of the "national review" article were charged of left-leaning bias, conservatives had long dismissed the times as a hotbed of liberalism. buyers beyond redemption, but the "national review" as to what extent was this impression soundly based? examined five issues that they said felt along a left right clef. they were senator james buckley, 1970 run for his senate seat. the anti-ballistic missile treaty in both 1969 failed supreme court nomination of appellate federal pell court judge haney's worth and president nixon's decision to mine the north vietnamese. they conclude surprisingly that the new standard of the time more broadly emulated, particularly by newsmagazine broadcast networks, the nation would be far better informed and more moderately circuit this was great the treaty to the journalism practice and upheld by the editor of the new times. is executive editor of 1969-1986. he would -- impartiality, agnosticism, rosenthal was determined to keep the paper straight. h

mcgovern. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for three minutes. mr. mcgovern: thank you. madam speaker, i rise in strong opposition to this closed rule and to the ridiculous, meaningless, and unconstitutional underlying legislation. today the republican leadership has brought forward a bill that they call without any apparent trace of irony, the government shutdown prevention act of 2011. this bill was introduced on wednesday and rushed to the floor without the 72 hours of notice that the republicans promised. even though the bill was referring to four different committees, not a single hearing has been held. not a single markup has taken place. where is the openness, where is the fairness? this process is lousy. this bill would not only -- this bill would not only have no practical effect, it's not even remotely constitutional. if my friends on the other side of the aisle want to put out a press release or series of talking points, hey, it's a free contry.

george mcgovern did lincoln. it is a mix of historians and non historians looking at these presidencies telling the basic stories but also giving your own individual spin on it. and he asked me to do the johnson book and i guess he figured i would put my individual spin on it. i agreed to do it because arthur asked me to endow ahead great respect for him. a new him from the papers of thomas jefferson on the advisory committee and paul was the general series editor of the series, was my editor on the book i did with vernon jordan. you know how it is when friends ask you to do things. who asked me to do this. i put aside my misgivings. i knew it was a fascinating topic. so much material and very rich but i wondered if i would be able to curb my natural feelings of antipathy about living at this particular period in american history and i agreed to do it. that was many years ago. this book is long overdue. in between saying i would do that i wrote monticello which took a lot of time and energy and i came back to thi
