                     MISLEADING POLITICAL RHETORIC

  (Mrs. UNSOELD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. UNSOELD. Mr. Speaker, rhetoric flows freely in this well and 
throughout this House, particularly political rhetoric. Last year it 
foamed and flowed over the Clinton economic package. In August, Mr. 
Kasich said, ``We will come back here next year and try to help you 
when this puts the economy in the gutter.'' The minority whip said, ``I 
believe this will lead to a recession next year. This is the Democrat 
machine's recession, and each one of them will be held personally 
accountable.''
  Mr. Alan Greenspan is hardly a flaming radical, but at the end of 
January of this year he said, ``I do not recall as good an underlying 
base for the long-term outlook as we have today in the last two or 
three decades.''
  Mr. Speaker, I will gladly be accountable for what has taken place, 
but for what will we make the minority whip accountable?
