20				     THE FEDERAL BUDGET

30 WHEREAS:  	Social Security is becoming, day by day, an important issue facing the next 
40			generation of American citizens; and,

50 WHEREAS:	Congress has taken it upon themselves to remove Social Security from the 
60			Federal Budget; and,

80			a budget deficit; and,

90	WHEREAS:	The truth is, Congress has been removing funds from Social Security for
100			various reasons ever since it removed Social Security from the books; and,

120			agreeing with Congress that there is now a "government surplus."

140			the President to add Social Security back to the Federal Budget.

150	MANDATES:	President Bill Clinton
