           PRESIDENT'S BUDGET POINTS WAY TO STRONGER ECONOMY

  (Mrs. KENNELLY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KENNELLY. Mr. Speaker, we all know that there is a right way and 
a wrong way to do everything, and the effort to deal with the budget 
deficit is no exception. Today in the Budget Committee we begin marking 
up the fiscal year 1995 budget, and continue what we began last year--
dealing with the budget deficit the right way.
  We will continue to set priorities, make tough choices, and focus 
resources where they are needed most. We will stay within the very 
tight discretionary caps adopted last year. And we will keep that 
deficit on a downward path.
  That is the right way. The wrong way is to offer phony panaceas and 
miracle cures--rhetorical flourishes instead of real fixes. That's the 
approach taken by those who oppose the President's budget.
  Last year, Republicans predicted the President's budget would be a 
disaster for the economy. They said it would do nothing to reduce the 
deficit. They said it would slow economic growth. And they were wrong, 
wrong, wrong.
  There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. Mr. Speaker, 
we have now started to do things the right way. Let us continue what we 
have begun by passing the President's budget, and keeping America on 
the path to a stronger economy.
