                               THE BUDGET

  (Mr. CLYBURN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of President 
Clinton's budget proposal.
  Some may view the President's budget proposal as a heartless cut and 
slash of vital Government programs. Yet for others, it does not cut 
enough. But this budget is a pretty good balance of our Nation's 
priorities.
  While the President's budget proposal calls for cuts in some rather 
popular programs, it also calls for a $888 million increase for 
childhood immunizations, and a 7-percent increase in education 
programs, with a boost in efforts to ensure safe and drug-free schools.
  The budget proposal also increases law enforcement spending--enabling 
States and municipalities to put more police officers on the streets, 
and contains $500 million additional for veterans' medical care.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a budget that seeks to further reduce the 
deficit, while continuing to provide the kinds of services and programs 
needed from the Federal Government.
