                           STAND AND DELIVER

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, last night, the President stood and 
spoke.
  He spoke well about the problems of crime and welfare. He spoke 
convincingly about the dire impact of the Great Society, about how the 
family unit has broken down over the last 30 years.
  He spoke about values. He talked about national security. He copied 
the sentiments of Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
  In fact, his State of the Union speech, with the exception of health 
care reform, was a broad endorsement of the Republican agenda. Now is 
the time for the President to stand and deliver.
  The American people were impressed with the President's rhetoric. But 
mere words do not leave a lasting impression. Now is the time to stand 
and deliver.
  Deliver us a real welfare reform bill that will replace the current 
corrupt system of dependency and helplessness. Deliver us a crime bill 
that take repeat offenders off the street for good.
  Mr. Speaker, now is the time for the President to stand and deliver.
