Following is the text of a television advertisement produced by the Democratic National Committee about Gov. George's W. Bush's record on children's health care in Texas.

Title: "Judge"
Time: 30 Seconds

Narrator: "George W. Bush says he has a plan for children's health care. But why hasn't he done it in Texas?

"Texas ranks 49th out of 50 in providing health coverage to kids.

"It's so bad, a federal judge just ruled Texas must take immediate 'corrective action.' The judge's findings: Bush's administration broke a promise to improve health care for kids.

"The needs of abused kids are neglected. Texas failed to inform families of health coverage available to a million children.

"The Bush record: It's becoming an issue."
