                          Trump Administration

  Madam President, one more thing, on the upcoming Republican tax cuts, 
when the Budget Committee meets in a couple of days, basically, there 
is a great debate between House and Senate Republicans: Should it be 
one bill or two bills?
  Let me tell you. The real issue is: What are they going to cut that 
hurts working Americans to fund the billionaires, whether it is one 
bill or two bills--to help not fund the billionaires, to help give 
greater tax cuts to the billionaires?
  Defunding the National Institutes of Health? Cutting that back where 
health researchers are telling us that it will impede cancer research 
and the great research that we have done that helped the American 
people live healthier and longer? Defunding things like CHCs, which I 
just mentioned? So much else. All for one reason.
  I would say to my fellow Americans: Don't get caught up in this 
gobbledygook--one bill or two bills. We all know the goal is the same: 
cut, cut, cut--even vital programs that help working Americans--to give 
tax breaks to the wealthy.
  And that is what we will see in this first step when the Budget 
Committee marks up its bill, supposedly on Wednesday.
  One bill, two bills--no. It could be 50 bills. I don't care. It all 
comes down to the same thing: the end goal for Republicans to pass 
gargantuan tax cuts for Donald Trump and their billionaire friends.
  Mr. WARNER. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
