             SHOW AMERICAN PEOPLE CLINTON HEALTH CARE PLAN

  (Mr. BACHUS of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BACHUS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, President Clinton has called for 
a new openness in Government, but that does not square with the fact 
that the American people are being required to pay $45 to get a copy of 
the Clinton health plan.
  On the other hand, anyone can call the House document room at 202-
225-3456 and get a copy of the Republican plan for free, or, the 
Cooper-Grandy plan, for free, or, the Thomas plan, for free. Absolutely 
free. But $45 if you want the Clinton plan.
  Mr. Speaker, last week I wrote to the majority leader and I asked 
him, in fairness to the American people, instruct the House document 
room to also provide a copy of H.R. 3600 to the American people, for 
free.
  Today, I renew my call.
  Mr. Speaker, we will consider many important issues this year, but 
none are more important than health care reform.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve to know what we are voting 
on. Let them see the plan.
