my good friend from rhode island, senator whitehouse and i have he could sponsored a bill that goes after parts of the solution. there's a select committee formed by the leadership, democrat, republican, house and senate, there are 16 members. i'm privileged to be on that. i believe there are things we can do in the select committee to fix the process and help us deal with the additional things that we are adding to this debt crisis. make no mistake, that will not solve the debt crisis. you will not solve the debt crisis by fixing the fujt process -- fixing the budget process alone. the same thing applies to growing the economy, the same thing is involved with the other items we can look at in terms of redundant agencies in the health care costs of this country. mr. president, america has come too far to fail now. we owe it to our kids and grandkids and the kids and grandkids of our kids and tbrand kids to deal with this -- grandkids to deal with this now. i met with mr. greenspan and he reminded me in 1983 they had a solution and if we had done it in 1983, it would be nearly as onerous a
