             REAL WORKABLE CUTS FEATURED IN CLINTON BUDGET

  (Mr. VISCLOSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, last year, Congress and President Clinton 
passed the largest deficit reduction bill in history.
  The bill reduces the deficit by $496 billion with over $250 billion 
in spending cuts. This historic, cost-cutting measure was passed 
without a single Republican vote.
  This year, President Clinton's budget builds on last year's success. 
His budget request calls for the elimination of 115 Government programs 
and cuts more than 300 others. Just as last year, these cuts are real 
and they will work.
  It is clear that President Clinton is committed to cutting programs 
and putting Government back on the side of the people.
  Mr. Speaker, this budgetary course, coupled with the cost controls 
contained in President Clinton's health care plan, will put our 
Nation's fiscal house in order. These are the choices we must make to 
guarantee the best and brightest future for ourselves and our children.
