mr. williams is my friend, but i do wonder whether mr. williams views the $1.43 million he received in debt forgiveness was consistent with his views on socialism. i don't get it. now i yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, mr. doggett. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. doggett: i was prepared to vote for this resolution. socialism is clearly not the best path for america. who wants to be associated with stalin and the others that this resolution denounces, really thugs, masquerading as socialists. when the promoters of this worthless resolution rejected the takano amendment to protect social security and medicare, their goal became clear. they have a long history of rigorously attacking most every new social initiative originally claiming that social security would enslave workers and sabotage the country. and they have long denounced medicare as socialism. some republicans would even privatize the veterans administration with its socialist structure of government-run hospitals and
