           SUMMARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY MEDICARE ANNUAL REPORTS

  (Mr. HOKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOKE. Mr. Speaker, this is a report that is a summary of the 1995 
annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare boards of trustees. 
I urge every American to call their Representative at 202-224-3121 and 
get a copy of it. This is the annual report of your Government, about 
your trust funds for Social Security and, most importantly, Medicare.
  It is something that you should read. It is clearly written. There is 
a problem, and you need to know about it. Outside of this politicized 
atmosphere of rhetoric, outside of the demagoguery that is going on, 
you need to be able to read this yourself and make your own decision. 
It is 202-224-3121, so that you know what is going on with these trust 
funds. Please call your Representative. Ask for the summary of the 
annual reports.
