TOUGH
CHOICES
(Mr.
FAZIO
asked and
was
given per-
mission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr.
FAZIO. Mr.
Speaker,
leadership
is
about
making
tough
choices.
The
eyes
of
the
Nation
are
on
the
House
of
Representatives
today
to
see
if the
change
that
people
demanded
last
fall
is
actually
going
to take
place.
When
the President
came
to
office
just
4
months
ago
the
deficit
had
been
out
of
control
for
12
long
years.
In
less
than
a
month
the
President
presented
this
Congress
and
the
American
people
with
a
$500
billion
deficit reduction
plan,
the
largest
of
its
kind
In
the history
of
our
country.
The
President's
plan
has
over
200
spe-
cific
spending
cuts,
including
$100
bil-.
lion reduction in
entitlements.
The
Congress
has
added
an
additional
$63
billion
in
spending
cuts.,
Three
out
of
four
new
tax
dollars
come
from
the
richest
6
percent
of
our
Nation's
peo-
ple.
:
It
is
time
for
us
to
give
this
new
President
a
chance
to
get
our
country
out
of
the
ditch
and
back
on
-the
road
to
a
recovery
that
promises
new
jobs
and
economic
growth.
Give
our
new
President
the
oppor-
tunity
to
lead
this
country
back
from
the
deficits
of
the
last
decade.

Either
all
those

and
all

about
the

meant
something,
or
they
did
not.
Today
we
are
going
to
find
out.
We
are
about
to
discover
whether
the
prof-
ligate
1980's
were
simply an
aberration,
a
time
of
loss
of

or
a

Mr. VISCLOSKY.
Mr.

when

the national

was
$908

When
George

$4

Bill

was

President

has

the

I
wish

They should

They should
reconsider
how

that

that
we
are
not
going
to
solve
our
deft-
clt
problem
until
we
get these
entitle-
ment
programs
under
control.
This
part
of
our deficit
has
been
on
autopilot
for
20
years,-
and
last
night,
about
1
o'clock
in

morning,'.
we
were
able
to
come
to
a
very
difficult
compromise
on
an
effort
to
cap
entitle-
ment
spending
for
the
first
time
in
our
Nation's -history.
I
believe
this
to
be
a
historic
change
in

process.
Our

the

and
the

[Mr.

de-
serve
a

of
credit
for
negotiating
the
toughest
entitlement

that
we
can
possibly
get
through
this
Congress.
I
think
this particular
provision
in
the
package
is
definitely worthy
of
ev-.
eryone's
support,
and
I
urge
my
col-
leagues
to
support
the
reconciliation
package
today.
Please,
look
at
the
entitlement
cap
and
understand
what
a
historic
change
this
is.
We
are
taking entitlements
off

and
it
is
worthy
of
our
support..
BUDGET
RECONCILIATION
A
HARD
SELL
(Mr.
POMBO
asked
and
was
given
'permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr.
POMB0.' Mr.
Speaker,
as
a
farm-
er, I
know
that
the
budget reconcili-
ation
is
going
to
be
hard
to
sell,
espe-
cially
to
our Nation's-farmers.
The
plain.
simple
truth
is
that
the
budget
reconciliation
cuts
nearly
$3
billion
from
farm programs
while,
at
the
same
time,
increases and
expands
the
Food
Stamp
Program
by
over
$7
billion.
Those
are
the
facts
that--the
supporters
of
this
budget
need
to
ex-
plain.
For
me,
it
is
easy. I
voted
against
the
budget.
I
wanted
to
see
that
needed
cuts
were
made,
but
made
fairly,
rath-
er
than
by
heaping
the
burden
even
higher
on
farmers.
For
my
Democrat
colleagues,
how-
ever,
I
can
only
wish
you
luck.
I
want
to
see
you
go
and
visit
a
farmer in
your
district,
put
your
foot
up
on
the
bump-
er
of
his
truck,
and
tell
him
why
the
money
being
out
from
crop
insurance
is
better
spent
by
expanding
the
Food
Stamp Program.
Or
explain
to
him
the
equity
of
the
Btu
or
estate
taxes.
I
would
like
to
be
there
when
you
try.
But
let
me give
you
a
word
of
warning:
Do
not
do

SUPPORTING
THE
RECONCILIATION
ACT
(Mr.
BISHOP
asked
and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise and extend
his
re-
marks.)
.
iMr'
BISHOP.
Mr.
Speaker,
the
Budg-
:et
Reconciliation
Act
is-
about
hard
choices.
It's-hard
to
ignore
our
sagging
economy
and-the
Federal
deficit.
It's
also
hard.to
leave
our
children
with
lit-
tie
or
no
means
to
accessible,
afford-
able
health
care, and hundreds
of
thou-
sands of
Americans
without
jobs.
And
it's
hard
to
support
an
energy
tax
that
would-
raise
production
costs
on
our
farmers,
and
we've
cut
the
burden
in
half
by
exempting
on-farm use
of
gaso-
line
and
diesel
from
the
energy
tax.
But
it's
time
to
face
the hard
facts.
We
must
put
American
back
to
work.
IWe
cannot
continue
to
wait,
and
hope,
that
change
will
come.
This
plan
is
the
largest
deflcit-reduction
package
in
the
history
of
the
Republic.
It
re-
duoes
our
Federal deficit
by
$496
billion
over
the
next
5
years.
It
helps
fund
Jobs
programs
and
job
training
for
our
citi-
zens,
and
assumes
full funding
for
Head
Start,
a-
very
important
educational
program
for.our
children.
And
it
does
out
spending.
There
is
no
easy
way
out,
Mr.
Speak-
er.
It's
time
to
make
the
tough
deci-
sions.
Let's
jumpstart
our
economy
and
let's
make
the
right
choice
by
vot-
ing.
for
the
Budget Reconciliation
Act.
T-
E
CLINTON
TAX
PLAN
(Mr.
GOODLATTE
asked
and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
remarks.)
:Mr:
GOODLATTE.
Mr.
Speaker,
today
is the
day
we
answer
a
fun-
damental
question:
Are
American
fam-
lies
and
businesses undertaxed?
Or.
does
the
Federal
Government
just
spend
too
much?
I
think
we
all
know
the
answer
to
this
question.
Day
after
day,
I
talk
to
folks
across
my
Sixth
District
of
Virginia
and
they
tell
me
how
the
tax
burden
is
eating
into
their
already
tight
family
budgets.
A
vote for
President
Clinton's
S360
bil-
lion
tax
boondoggle
is
a
slap
in the
face
to
every
one
of
these
families.
They
work
hard
to
earn
a
living,
to
buy
the
groceries, pay
for
new
school
clothes
for
the
kids,
and
cover
the
insurance
payments
and
mortgage. They
deserve
better.
I
ask
each
Member
of
the
House
to
ask
himself
or
herself a
question:
Will
our Nation
be
better
off
in
4
years
if
we
pass
these
huge
new
tax
increases?
I
heard
the
President
calling
this
a
deficit-reduction
tax
increase.
That's
like
a
spring
snowstorm.
You
can
see
it
coming
down,
but
it
just
does
not
stick.
This
money
that
President
Clln-
ton
is
trying
to
dig
out
of
the
pockets
of
America's
families
and businesses
will
be
wasted
on
expensive
new
Gov-
ernment
pork-barrel
programs
which
do
nothing
more
than
provide
jobs
for
Washington,
DC,
bureaucrats.
The
President
likes
to
create
a
Government
program to
solve
every
problem
but
as
former
President
Reagan
put
It so
well.
"Government
does
not
solve
problems.
It
subsidizes
them."

:PASS
THE
RECONCILIATION
'BTIL
:(Mr.
RICHARDSON
as"ednd
wasn
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for-l
minute
and'to
reviue
and-extend
his
remarks.)
--
Mr..
RICHARDSON.-Mr.Speaker,
this
is
the
biggest
vote
of.
the
decade.
Are
we
going
to
vote
simply
as
Democrats
or
Republicans,
or as'
Americans
want-
ing
to
give
the President
a
chance
to
govern?
This
economic
plan
has pain
for
ev-.
eryone.
There
are
hundreds
of reasons
to
vote
against
it.
But fundamentally
it
is
not
about
spending
cuts
or
deficit
reduction;
it
is
about
whether
we
as
a.
nation
can
govern
and
eliminate
the
gridlock of
the
last
12
years.
Mr.
Speaker,
this
is
It.
Today
we
will
vote
on
and
pass
the President's
rec-
onciliation
bill-a
bill
that
cuts
the
deficit,
restores
faith
and fairness
in
Government,
and
sets
a
positive
oourse
for
this
country.
Let
me-restate
some
of
the facts:
This
plan
is
the
most
aggressive
deft-
clt-cutting
plan
we
have
ever
seen.
-It
cuts:the
deficit
by
$500
billion
over
5
years.
This plan
is
fair-the
heaviest
burden
is shouldered
by':
those'
who
can
and
should
pay-the.
wealthlest
of
Ameri-
cans.
:In
fact,
the
vast
Fmajority
of
the
tax
increase-will
be
paid
by
those mak-
ing
over
$200,000
per
year..'
This
plan reminds
us
of
the
reason
America
voted
for
Bill
Clinton.
It
calls
for
shared sacrifice
and
is
based
on
honesty-not
the
smoke
and
mirrors
of
the
last
12
yearsa
Most
of
all,
it
dem-
onstrates
the.
courage
needed
to
make
the
tough
cuts.
Mr.
Speaker,
this
is
our

Mr. BONILLA.
Mr.

make.
When
Henry

it

he
named
his

"Famous

Hard-working
people
all
over
this

take
pride
in
their
work
and
want
their

it.
Craftsmen

Lawmakers
put
their

If
you
take

you

the

takes
pride
in

should
put

AND
CONFIDENCE
IN
Mr.
MoCOLLUM.
Mr.
Speaker,
early
this
morning
the
Democrat leadership
exhibited
the
arrogance
of
power
which
makes congressional
term
limits
such
a
compelling
cause.
They
decided
to
make
a
deal
In
order
to
pass
the
largest
tax
increase
in history,
and
the
deal
was
over
a
rule
that
will
come
out
here
today
that
will
not
allow us
to
offer
amendments
or
even
their
Members
to
offer
amendments
that
would

the
face
of
the
energy
tax
or
remove
it,
et
cetera
Only
one
substitute
is
allowed;
ours
granted
by only
one.
I
think
that
kind
of arrogance
is
going
to
get
to
them.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
we
are
dealing
with
not
only
the largest
-tax increase
in
history
but
we
are
deal-
ing
with
the
fact
that
this
bill
out
here
today
will
not
have
any
reductions
in
spending
for
the
first
2
years.
And
when
we
get
down
the
pike, assuming
that
it
works-and
I
do
not
believe
the
math
will
work-assuming
it
does,
at
the
end
of
5
years
we
will
have
added
$1
trillion
to
the
debt,
from
$4.5
trillion
to
$5.5
trillion,
and
still
have
$200
billion
in
deficits;
nowhere
near
a
balanced
budg-
et.
I
submit,
my
colleagues,
what
the
American
people
will
understand
more
after
the
pain
than they
do
even
now-
REBELLION
IS
A
GOOD
THING
(Mr.
BAKER
of
California
asked
and
was given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and to
revise
and
extend
his
remarks.)
Mr.
BAKER
of
California.
Mr.
Speak-
er,
President
Clinton admires
Thomas
Jefferson.
Well,
Jefferson
said
"a
little
'rebellion
nd'v
and
then is
a
good
thing."
And
today,
it's
an
especially
good
thing
for
the
American
taxpayers.
Because
right
now,
President
Clinton
has
a
rebellion
on
his
hands.
Not
just
Republicans,
but
members
of
his
own
Democrat
Party,
are
saying the
liberal
Clinton
program
of
tax
and
spend
is un-
popular
among
the
people
and
a
recipe
for
economic
disaster
in
this
country.
The energy
tax
will
cost
our recovering
economy
500,000
jobs;
the
tax
on
Social
Security
benefits
will
bring
pain
to
America's
seniors;
the
income
tax
bill
will
steal
capital
needed
to
create
jobs
and
expand
business.
A
rebellion
against
the
Clinton
pro-
gram
of
tax
increases
and
new
spending
is
a
good
thing,
Mr.
Speaker.
It
is
a
good
thing
for
the
country
and
good
for
the
American
taxpayer.
Cut
spending
first.
(Mr.
ROTH
asked
and.was
given
per-
mission to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr.
ROTH.
Mr.
Speaker, around
the
country
people
are
asking
why
is
the
Clinton
administration
such
a
disaster
after
only
130
days.
His
negatives
are
higher
than
his positives.
Well,
as
a
previous
speaker
said,
ev-
eryone
looks
at
Thomas
Jefferson
in
the
Clinton
administration.
Thomas
Jefferson
said
that
a
President
can
only
be
successful
If
the
people
have
trust
and confidence
in
him.
Well,
here
is
what
President
Clinton
said
about
Social
Security,
which
is
being
taxed
in
this
bill
today,
9½
mil-
lion
Social
Security
recipients are
being taxed
to
the
tune
of
329
billion.
Here
is
what Clinton
said in
Septem-
ber
of
last
year:
We
are
not
going
to
fool
with
Social
Secu-
rity.
It
is
sound
and
I
am going
to
keep
It
that
way.
You
can
take
it
to
the
bank.
That
was
his
quote.
Today
we
are
voting
on
a
$29
billion
tax
on
senior
citizens.
You
see,
there
is
no
trust
and
con-
fidence.

That
in
why
this

and
that
is
why
the
Clinton
administration
is in
trouble.
There
is
no
trust

in

and
rightly
so.
GIVE
THE
PRESIDENT
A
CHANCE
(Mr.
GLICKMAN
asked and
was given
permission
to
address
the
House
for'l
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr.
GLICKMAN.
Mr.
Speaker,
in
1981
as
a third term
Member
of
Congress,
I
listened
to
-Ronald
Reagan
ask
the
American
people
and
this
Congress
to
give
him
a
chance,
to
give
his
program,
which.
I
might
add
was
very
com-
plicated
and
very
controverslal,
a
chance.
I
voted
for
his
tax
reduction
bill.
I
was one
of
about
50
Democratic
Members
of
Congress
who-
voted
for
Reagan's
tax
bill,
not
because
It
was
perfect;
but
because
It
offered
a
chance
and he,
the
new
President
asked for
it.
Now
our
new
President
has
asked
us
for
the
same chance,
a
chanoe
to
re-
duoe
the deficit
dramatically
and
to
do
it
with
fairness,
equity,
growth,
and
jobs.
Yes, It
is
controversial.
Yes,
It
may
have
some
problems
with
it,
as
did
the
Reagan
program,
but
he
has
asked
for
our
help.
He
has
asked
us
to
give
him
a
chance.
Americans
do
not
like
excessive
par-
tisanahip.
I
am
sorry
that
no
Repub-
llcan in
the
House,
like nearly
50
Democrats
in
1981,
but
not
one Repub-
liean
chooses
to
give
our
President
the
same
chance
that
I
and
the
nearly
one-
fifth
of
the
Democrats of
the
House
did
for
President
Reagan
in
1981.
Mr.
Speaker,
I
believe
Americans
are
fair
and
I
believe
that
today
they
will
applaud
our
efforts
to
give
Bill
Clinton
a
chance
to
make America
a
better
place.

Mr.

Mr.

when
the
American

Mr.

Mr.
Speaker,
several
years
ago,
two
Vietnam
veterans,
Rob-
ert
Renneke and
Dr.
Fred
Roever,
in
my
district
proposed
building
a
memo-
rial
to
honor
those

miss-
ing
in
action,
who
hailed
from
the
local
area
Like
so
many
other
memorial
projects.
this
one
was
ridiculed
by
some
who
contended
it
was
a
waste
of
time
and
money.
However,
I
am
pleased
to
say
that
the
monument's
supporters
persevered
and
in
1992,
the
city
of
Tar-
pon
Springs,
FL,
held
a
dedication
ceremony
for
this important
memorial.
Although
the
memorial
started
with
the
purpose of
recognizing
our
great
Vietnam
veterans,
it
soon expanded
to
Include
those
from
the
area
who
served
and
gave

so

has
grown
in

last
12

This
Is
a
tough
political
vote today,
no
doubt
about It,

I
do
not
under-
stand
why
you

do
not
admit
there
is

Yes,
there
are

there,
and
we
asked
the wealthiest

to
pay
a

We
asked

You
want
good

of
how
good
this

Ask
the

Do
not
ask the
self-proclalmed

Ask

Right
now
the market

The

that
is
because
they
understand

-Mr.

I
rise
today
in
opposition
to
the
pro-
posed
Btu

which
President

wants
to
impose
on
the
American
peo-
ple.
During

pronised
not'to

Well,
this
Btu
tax
will
make
the
middle
'class
pay
and pay
and' pay;
The
energy
tax
-will
cost
$70
billion,
mostly
from
the
mid-
dle
class.
And
the
middle
class
will
pay more
than just-the
tax
on

other

Everyone
will
pay
more,
even
the
poor,.
when

I
applaud
the bipartisan

In

to
remove
the

ergy

The

knows-
that
we
need

Hopefully

BROKEN
CAMPAIGN
PROMISES
(Mr.
DORNAN
asked and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute.)
Mr.
DORNAN.
Mr.
Speaker,
I
would
like
to
discuss
the
rhetorical
question
asked,
with
all
America
listening
by
the
gentleman
prom
Kansa,
DAN
GLICKMAN,
my
good
friend.
The
gentleman
asks
why
there are
no
Republicans
supporting
the
Clinton
tax
hike
when
50
Democrats,
including
the
gentleman
from
Kansas,
supported
Ronald Reagan In
his
first
year?
It
is simply this:
President
Ronald
Reagan
was
keeping
every
one
of
his
campaign
promises,
and
Presidents
Clinton is breaking
every
one
of
his
campaign promises.
Anybody
have
any
trouble with
that
analysis?
It
Is
very
simple.
Indeed,
doesn't
anybody
else
find
it
amusing
that
we
will soon
be
de-
bating
a
reconciliation
bill
that
cannot
be
reconciled
with
any
of
Clinton's
campaign
promises?
Here
is
the
hottest
document
on
the

It
is
called

Contrary

Mr.
SCHIFF.
Mr.
Speaker,-we
have
heard
a
great
deal
of
good-sounding
rhetoric,
particularly
from
the
other
side
of
the

that
the
purpose
Of
to-
day's

is
indeed
to
address
the
defi-
cit.
But
normally,
over

last
number

we
have

tration's

"address

and
-they
have
always
been good-soundink words
like
"'get the

again"
or
"increase
the
number
of
jobs.".'
But
the
word.
"and" is
their
euphe-
mism
for
new
spending ideas.
After
all,
the
very
first
proposal from
the
admin-
istration'
to
reach
Congress was
-for
the
more
deficit
spending.
Now
they
tell
us
that
we
can
have
confidence
that
this
bill
will
-indeed
raise
revenue
to
go
to
the
deficlt.
What
do.
they
provide?
'
They
provide
such
things
like
a
trust
fund
to
address
the
deficit,
a
trust
fund.
Do
my
colleagues know
we
already
have
a
trust
fund
for
the
excessive
rev-
enues received
from
Social
Security?
And
where
is
that
money today?
Is
that
money
down
the
street
in
a
bank?
Of
course,
it
is
not.
That
money
has
been
spent
by
the
Congress,
and
Congress
has
returned,
in
its
place,
an
IOU,
a
giant
Treasury
bill.
That
is
exactly
what
can
happen
with
the
revenue
raised
through
increased
taxes
in

fund.
Congress

I

The

and

in

complained
endlessly'
about
how
bad
the
last
12
years
have
been.
Well,
Mr.
'Speaker,
during
the
Reagan-Bush
era,
our
country-enjoyed
an
economic
boom
unprecedented
in
our
history.
We
whipped
inflation
and
we
tamed
inter-
est rates.
The
era
came
to
an
end

cause.
the
Democratic
Congress forced
President
Bush
to
raise
taxes,
The
re-
cession
from
that
tax
increase
lingers
still
today.
And
now,
the
Democrats,
led
by
President
Clinton,
want
to
raise
even
more
taxes.
This is
like
pulling
the
plug
on
a
patient
who
is
slowly
making
a
recovery.
Mr.
Speaker,
I
urge
my
Democratic
colleagues
to
think
clearly
about
their
vote
on
the
reconciliation rule
and
on
final
passage.
It
Just may
be

have courage.
The courage
to

.When
you
get
right
down

the
fundamental
issue
we
are confronted
with
today
is:
Will
the
Democrats have
the
courage,
and
the
guts,
to
govern
this
country?
Are
we
fit
to
lead?
I
say emphatically.that
we
can
gov-
ern
effectively.
And
our
vote today
in
support
of
the President's
plan
will
demonstrate
that.
When
I
cast
my
vote
for
this
-bill
today
I
will
be
adding
my
voice
in

port
of

Mr.

Mr.

The

The

It

a

Mr.

Mr.

Sadly,
he
has
broken
many
of

and
the

Mr.
Speaker,
I
rise
today
in
strong
and
adamant
opposi-
tion
to the
proposed
Btu
energy
tax.
.
Since
President
Clinton
unveiled his
program
In
February,
countless
letters
have
flooded
my
office
from
rural
con-
stituents
opposed
to
the
energy
tax.
Working.
poor
constituents
and
elderly
folks
on
fixed
incomes
have
written
me,
scared
that
the
Btu
tax
will
eat
up
their
disposable
Income.
I've
spent
hours meeting
with
farmers,
small
businessmen,
and
residents
from
rural
Pennsylvania
who
have
related
how
this
energy
tax
would
adversely affect
them.
After
reading
articles
and
white
pa-
pers,
hearing testimony
from
experts,
and
listening
to
my
constituents,
there's
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
this
Ill-conceived
tax
is
a
threat
to
the
well-being
of
individual
taxpayers,
em-
ployers,
and
the
economy
as
a
whole.
While
yielding
little
significant
envi-
ronmental
benefit,
this
broad-based
en-
ergy
tax
will
act
as
a
drag
on
our slug-
gish
economy, forcing more
people
out
of
work
and
actually
reducing
tax
reve-
nues-the
opposite
of
what
the
tax
is
intended
to
do.
In

district,
the
tax

the
rural
area's
tenuous
economic
base.

of
this,

my

will
be

Mir.
MACHTLEY. Mr.
Speaker,
here
is
what
bothers
me
about
this
tax-and-
pain
which
we
are
going
to
address
today:
If
the
President's
tax
bill
wins,
the ultimate
loser
will
be
the
American
people.
'
One
of
the
worst
aspects
of
this
pro-
posal
is
the
new
energy,
Btu
tax
that
will
especially
hit
those
on
lower
in-
comes
and
those
people
on fixed
in-
comes.
The
bottom
line
is
that
this
energy,
,Btu
tax
falls
the
basic
test
of
good
gov-
ernment,
the
test
of
fairness.
That
was
the
President's
test.
We.
will
all
pay
more
taxes
to
help
re-
duce
our
deficit,
but
those
who
can
least
afford
to
pay
more money
are
going
to
be
asked
to
pay
more
under
this
test.
-The
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
re-
ports
that
the.middle class
spent
7
per-
cent
of
their
income
on
energy
in
1991.
At
the
same time,
the
poorest
one-fifth
of Americans
spent
22
percent
of
their
income
on
energy
expenses.
To
make
this
Imbalance
even
greater'is
neither
fair
nor
right.
Moreover,
the
energy
tax
has
an
ad-
verse
impact
on
areas
of
this
country
that
is unfair.
In
my
State
it
will
cost
each
family
an
additional
M300.
Let
us
ax
this
tax
and
make
this
country
fair.

CUTTING
SPENDING
(Mr. McDERMOTT
asked
and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
remarks.)
Mr.
McDERMOTT.
Mr.
Speaker,
on
February
17
the
President
came
into
this
Hall
and
told
the
American
people
we
have
to
do
three
things:
stimulate
the
economy;
increase
revenues;
and
out
government
spending.
On
March
19.
this
body approved
the
stimulus
package.
Today,
after
12
years
of
deep
and
painful
reductions
which
cut
the
mus-
cle
out
of
many Federal programs,
we
are
considering
legislation to
cut
spending
even
further.
.
In
many
of
the
rograms we'll cut
today,
there
is
precious
little
left
to
cut.
Presidents
Reagan
and
Bush
al-
ready
cut
them
to
the
bone.
But
we'll
cut
them
because
we
know
we
have
to
bite
the
bullet
and
reduoe
the
deficit
Now,
some of
us
progressive
Demo-
crats
have
probably
made
a
mistake,
here.
We
haven't
made
enough
noise
about
the
real
cuts
being
made
today.
We've
allowed
those
on
the other
side
to
clamor
on
and
on
about
revenue
in-
creases
as
If
there
weren't
any
signifl-
cant
cuts
In
this
bill.
But
there
are
lots
of
them.
In
our
desire
to
be
responsible,
we
are
making
cuts
in
this
legislation
which
the
American
people
are
really
going
to
feel,
especially
when
the
appropria-
tions
bills
move
out
of
here
over
the
next
3
months.
The
$50
billion
we're
cutting
out
of
Medicare
in
this
bill
today
is
going
to
have
an Impact
on
senior
citizens,
and
on
small
and
large businesses.
The
Federal Government
will
save
$50
billion,
but
we
are
shifting-make
no
mistake
about
It,
that's
what
we're
doing-we
are
simply
shifting
that
cost
onto
the private
sector.
They
are
going
to
pay
for
that.
Every
Member
of
this
body
will
see
these
kinds
of
cuts,
not
Just
across
the
Nation,
but
back
home
in
their
own
district.
In
my
area
we'll
see
cuts
in
the
Bonneville
Power
Adminietration,
cuts
in
electric
power
that
are
going
to
be
devastating
to
our
economy.
These
are real
and
painful
cuts,
and
they
are
being
made
despite
12
years
of
cuts
that
in
many
instances have
al-.
ready
gone
too
deep.
Those
on
the
other
side
completely
Ignore
this
fact.
They
Ignore
or
minimize
the
cuts
made
by
this
bill.
Instead,
they
pretend
this
is a
bill
that
only
raises
revenues.
Not
only
are
they
wrong,
Mr.
Speak-
er,
but
I
will
predict
that
within
a
month,
those
on
the other
side
who
argue
today
that
the
cuts
in
this
bill
don't
go
far
enough
will
be
back
here
complaining
that
they
go
too
deep.
They'll
be
back
up
here
in-about
a
month
to
say
they
didn't
favor
these
outs.
They
didn't
think
these
cuts
were
going
to
be
made
in
that
area.
DIMPACT
OF
THE
ENERGY
TAX
(Mr.
ROYCE
asked
and
was given
per-
mission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
re-.
marks.)
Mr.
ROYCE.
Mr.
Speaker,
I
just
re-
ceived
an
estimate
from
the
Tax
Foun-
dation
on
the
effects
of
President
Clin-
ton's
tax
plan
on
California.
According
to
Dr.
Arthur
Hall,
the
senior
econo-
mist
at
the
Tax Foundation,
he
says
thae
if
the
President's
new
energy
tax
is
enacted
it
will
cost
the
Nation
463,000
jobs.
For
California
alone,
the
job
loss
will
be
4,000
jobs.
Mr.
Speaker,
the
President
Is
pro-
moting
this
plan as
a
job
creation,
eco-
nomic
stimulus
plan
But
according
to
the
Tax
Foundation.
it
will
be
a
job-
destroying
plan.
Mr.
Speaker,
we
cannot
afford
this
kind
of help.
This
new
tax
attacks
the
very
engine
on
economic growth.
in
our
economy.
It
attacks
small
business
and
It
attacks
the
consumer.
O 120
Past
experience
shows
that
it
will
just
go
to
fuel
new
Government
spend-
ing.
That
is
the
one
thing
that
Con-
grss
always
Increases,
spending.
New
social
spending
goes
up every
year,
year
after
year.
I
ask
my
colleagues
to
vote
"no"
on
this
bill.
NOW
IS
THE
TIME
TO
MAKE
HARD
CHOICES
(Ms.
HARMAN
asked and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and extend
her
re-
marks.)
Ms.
HARMAN.
Mr.
Speaker,
I
condi-
tioned
my
support
of
this
rule
and
the
reconciliation
package
on
the
addition
of effective enforcement mechanisms
to
assure
all
revenues
go
directly
and
only
to
deficit
reduction.
This
bill
includes
the
deficit
reduc-
tion
trust
fund
and
a
hard
freeze
on
all
discretionary
spending
for
5
years
This
bill
will
achieve
the
largest
deficit
re-
duction
In
history.
Getting the
deficit
monster
under
control
is
critical to
retain
and
build
high-skilled,
high-wage
jobs.
We
must
free
up
the
vital
capital
that
is
being
siphoned
away
by
deficit
spending
so
that
the
market
can
invest
In
new
In-
dustries
and
new
growth.
That
is
our
children's
future.
When
I
got
elected
to
Congress"'
vowed
to
listen
to
my
oonstituents
and
then
to
lead.
I
have
spent months
lis-
tening

In
front
of
markets
and

malls,
in
my
of-
floe,
and
to
the
intelligent
Ideas
in my
mail
box.
Now
is
the
time
to
lead,
to
make
the
hard
choices I
was
elected
to
make.
I
rise
in
support
of
this
rule
and
this
package which
provide
the
real
and
substantial
deficit
reduction
my
con-
stituents
and

Ms.
PELOSL
Mr.
Speaker,
this
past
weekend
I
had
the
opportunity
to
at-
,tend
my
own
daughter's
graduation
from law
school.
I have
another
getting
her
master's
degree
This
is
a
mother
bragging up
here
this
year.
But
our
colleagues
will
be
attending
graduations in
the
weeks
ahead,
either
personally
or
in
their
official
capac
ities,
and
when
they
do,
they
will
see
a
new
phenomenon
that
I
do
not think
I
saw
-present-
in"
graduations
in
yeas
gone
by.
and
that
is
there
to
almost
a
lever
of
despair
among
these
graduates
because
of
the lack
of
prospects
for
jobs
when
they
get out
of
school.
We
all
know
that
graduations
are
called commencements.
We
were
told
when
we
were
in
school commencement
that
It
was
the
beginning.
It
may
have
seemed
like the
end
to
our education,
formal
education,
but
It
was
the
oom-
mencement
of
the
new
life,
the
new
be-
ginning as
we
went
out
into
the
world.
For
these
graduates,
graduating
in
May
and
June
193,
the
new
beginning
is
a
dismal
one,
and
for
their
families
it
is
as
well,
because
we
have
been
hav-
ing
what
is
called
the
jobless
recovery
In
our
country.
How
much
is
it
going
to
take?
When
will
the
Republicans
get
the
message
that
we
need
to
reduce
the
deficit,
re-
duce
the
cost
of
capital,
so
that
small
businesses
can
create
jobs
and
give
hope
to these
new
graduates? I
urge
my
colleagues
to
support
the
President's
package
today
so
that
we
can
get
on
with
the
jobe
for
young
Americans.
It
is
about
reducing
the
deficit.
It
is
about
governing
our
country.

THE

Mr.
JOHNSON
of
South
Dakota.
Mr.
Speaker,
there are
components
of
the
Clinton, plan
which
are
not
acceptable
to
me,
but
based
on
the
rhetoric
this
morning,
I
think
we
need
to
put
some
things
In
perspective.
There
is
one
alternative
before
us
put
together
by
the
minority
In
the
House
of
Representatives.
For
all
the
croco-
dile
tears
about
protecting
the
middle
class,
oddly
enough,
over
75
percent
of
the
tax
benefits
of
that
plan
goes
to
the
very
wealthy
and
to
corporations
while,
at
the
same
time,
reducing
the
deficit
$140
billion
less
than
what
President Clinton's
plan
does,
and
while
at
the
same
time
not
itemizing
where
those
cuts
would
be.
It
is
one of
those
feel-good
kinds
of proposals
that
we
have
had,
the
political
demagogues
talking
about
too
often
in
the
past.
At
least
you could
say
this
for
Presi-
dent
Clinton:
He
is
specific'
about
his
plan.
It
reduces
the
deficit
more'than
any
other
plan
in
American
history,
and
he
is
dealing'with
the
American
public
as
adults.
The
other
proposal
we
hear
about
is
the
Ross
Perot
proposal.'
It
has
some
positive
qualities,
but
362
billion
more
in
taxes
than
what
President
Clinton
is
talking
about.
If
you
do
not
like
a
7.5-cent
gas
tax,
try
a
50-cent
gas
tax
while
at
the
same
time
reducing
the
deficit
less
than
President
Qlinton's plan
does.
We
have
always
had
a
lot
of
people
sitting
In
the
bleachers
complaining
aboit
the
people on
the
floor
who
are
actually
playing
the
game.
It
is
time
to
get
down
and
play
the
game
ourselves
with
bipartisan
support Instead
of
this
kind
of
wrangling.
MANY
AMERICANS
"RICH"
UNDER
PRESIDENT'S
DEFINITION
(Mr.
HERGER
asked and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
re-

Mr.
HERGER.
Mr.
Speaker, in
just
6
months
the
President
has
managed
to
make
the
whole
country rich.
No.
he
has
not
changed
the
Nation's
living
standards
one
lota,
but
he
has
changed
the definition
of
"rich."
In
last
year's
campaign,
only
the
rich
were
going
to
pay
candidate
Clinton's
new
taxes;
the
rich
were
defined
as
making
$200,000.
President-elect
Clinton
still
said only
the
rich
would
pay
his
taxes,
but the
rich
only had
to make
$100,000.
Now
in
office,
President
Bill
Clinton
says
people
making

BUDGET
RECONCILIATION
BILL
(Mr.
RAMSTAD
asked
and' was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise-and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr.
RAMSTAD.
Mr.
Speaker, I
rise
in
strong
support
of
the
Kasich
Repub-
lican
plan.
The
two
choices
today
are
clear.
The
Republican
plan
cuts
spending
first-the
Democrat plan taxes
people
first.
The
Democrat
plan
imposes
the
larg-
est
tax
increase in
American
history-
$355
billion
over
5
years.
Tax increases
represent
81
percent
of
the
Democrat
package,
which
will
raise
the
national
debt
$1.5
trillion
over
the next
5
years-according
to
their
own
figures.
The
Democrat
plan
will
increase
the
deficit,
destroy
jobs,
and
stifle the
economy
just
as
it
is
struggling
to
re-
cover.
The
energy
tax
alone
will
cost
8,500
jobs
in
my
home
State
of
Minnesota,
and
almost
1.000
jobs
in
my
Third
Dis-
trict;
610,000
Jobs
will
be
lost
nationally
because
of
the
energy
tax,
according
to
the
National
Association
of
Manufac-
turers
[NAM].
And
the
energy
tax
will
cut
gross domestic product
[GDP]
by
at
least
$30
billion
each
year,
according
to
the
independent
-economic
consulting
firm
DRI/McOraw-Hill.
. ' --
In
addition, Northwest Airlines
and
its
24,000
Minnesota
jobs will
be
put
in
-serious
jeopardy
by
the
newr
energy
tax.
The
energy
tax
is
a
big
hit
on
the
middle
class. The average:
fanilly
of
four
will
see
its
energy bill
go
up
by
$425
a
year,
'according
-to
the
non-
partisan
Tax
Foundation.
Middle-income
families
will
be:
hit:
the
hardest-just
because
the
President
and
Congress
refuse
to
cut
spending.
Mr.
Speaker,
we
need
to out
spending
first,
and
that's
exactly
what
the
KaL
sich
Republican
plan
does.
It
reduces
the
budget
deficit
by
$352
billion
in
spending
cuts
over
the
next
5
years-
without
increasing
taxes.
Congress
muSt'say
"no"
to
the
larg-
est tax
increase
in
American
history
and
say
no
to the
energy
tax
which
will
kill
American
jobs.

has

and,
like
the
gentleman
before me,
she
is
part
of
the
process.
The
President
made
a
plan,
he
made
the
tough
choices,
be
presented
the
plan
to
us.
That
plan
went
to
the
Committee
on
the
Budget,
where
the
tough
choices
were
made.
Then
the
budget
resolution,
some
thought
that
was
a
tough
vote,
but
they
had
to
make
it,
and
they
made
it.
Now
we
.are
here
in
the
budget
rec-
onciliation;
many
choices
having
been
made,
the
process
has
reached
the
point
where
we
can
take
a
vote
so
that
we
can
go
forward
in
this
country.

it
is

none

a

as
many
we
looked
at; the

tax,
the

the

much
fairer.
Does
any
of
us
like

No.
But
we
are
here
today
to
break
gridlock,
to
go
forward,
to
show
that
we
in the

WE
CAN
LOWER

BY
VOTING
FOR
THE
PRESIDENTS
PLAN
(Mr.
PASTOR
asked
and
was
given
permission
to
address
the
House
for
1
minute
and
to
revise
and
extend
his
re-
marks.)
Mr. PASTOR.
Mr.
Speaker,
when
I
voted
against
the
balanced
budget
amendment, there
were
Republicans
in
my
congressional
district
who
criti-
cized
me,
that
I
was
not
for
reducing
the
deficit.
When
I
voted
against the
line-item
veto,
there
were
Republicans
in
my
dis-
trict
who
criticized
me,
that
I
was
not
doing
enough
to
lower
the
deficit.
When
I
voted
against
the
expanded
rescission,
again
I
was
criticized
be-
cause
I
was
not
doing
enough
to
lower
the
deficit.
Well
Mr.
Speaker,
today
I
am
very
proud
to
tell
you I
kept
my promise,
and
I
am going
to
lower
the
deficit
by
voting
for
this
plan.
For
the
first
time,
for
the
first
time
in
12
years,
we
are
going
to
do
something
about
the
defi-
cit.
Today
you
will
hear
some
of
my
colleagues
on
this
side
argue
against,
because
they
are
still
in
the
same
plan
of
12
years
ago:
line-item
veto,
bal-
anced
budget
amendment-all
rhetoric.
If
they
really
want
to
do
something
about
this
deficit,
they
should
join
us
and
support
this
plan.

Mr.
WYNN.
Mr.
Speaker, for
12
years
we
have
heard
talk
about
deficit
reduc-
ion
and
now
for
the
first
time
we
actu-
lly
have
an
opportunity
to
do
It.
And
what
happens?
My
colleagues
on
the
other
side
of
the
aisle
want
to
find
very
reason
possible
why
we
ought
not
.o
It.
They
want
to
confuse
the
issue
and
talk
about there
are
too
many
axes
and
not
enough
spending
cuts.
But
the fact
remains,
Mr.
Speaker,
hat
this
is the
first
time
in
12
years
hat
this
Congress will
reduce
the
defl-
;it,
and
that
is
what
is
important.
We
will
reduce
the
drag
on
our
economy
.nd
we
will
begin
to
move
forward
on
utting
both
spending
and
the
size
of
Government.
Another
element
that
is
significant
n
this
package
is
tax
fairness.
Tax
airness,
no
matter
how
much
they
ant
and
rave
about
taxes
on
the other
ide
of
the
aisle,
the
fact
remains
that
most
of
the
taxes
in
this
package
will
be
paid
by
the
wealthy.
Seventy
per-
cent
of
the
taxes
will
be
paid
by
the
6
percent
who
are
the
wealthiest
in
this
country.
And
do
you

what?
That
is
a

is called

(Miss

asked

House
for

-and
extend
her
remarks.)
Miss
COLLINS
of
Michigan. Mr.
Speaker,
today,
I
am
introducing
the
Microenterprise
Opportunity
Expan-
sion
Act.
with
a
great
sense
of
satisfaeo-
tion
and accomplishment
over
the
prospects
for
microenterprises
across
the
county.
In
1988,
when
I
first
began
preparing
microenterprise legislation,
very
few
people
in
Government
with
whom
I
spoke
were
at
all
familiar
with
the
con-
cept
of
micreenterprise
development.
In
1990,
when
I
introduced
the
first
bill
in
Congress
to
promote
microenterprise
in
the
United
States,
there
were
still
only
a
few
Members
of
Congress
or
congressional
'staff
that
were
familiar
with microenterprise
programs
and
their
benefits.
Now,
in
1993,
the
landscape
has
been
overhauled.
Today,
we
have
a
President
who
vocally
and
frequently
touts
the
virtues
of
promoting microenterprises.
Additionally,
a
number
of
other
Mem-
bers
of
Congress
have
initiated
other
efforts
on
this
subject
including,
most
notably,
H.R.
455,
the
Microenterprise
and
Asset
Development
Act,
Introduced
by
Representative
TONY
HALL.
of
which
I
am
pleased
to
be
a
lead
cosponsor.
Fi-

She
then

Ms.

is
Just

This
is a
President
who
wants
to

We
are
a
Congress

has
to

It is

for
the
talk to
be

This
is

If

if

no

Mr.

I
do
not like
everything
about
this
plan,
but
at
some
point
the
debate
is
over.
That
is
our
democratic
way.
We
have
to
take
action,
we
have
to

we
have
to
vote,
I
hope
my
good

on

will
join
us and
give
this

chance
