          THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Margolies-Mezvinsky). Under the 
Speaker's announced policy of February 11, 1994, the gentleman from 
Ohio [Mr. Boehner] is recognized for 1 minute.
  Mr. BOEHNER. Madam Speaker, I bring to the attention of the Members 
in the Chamber the fact that on Thursday the House will consider the 
budget resolution for fiscal year 1995.
  During that debate on Thursday the Republican Members led by the 
gentleman from Ohio, Mr. John Kasich, will present a Republican 
alternative to that budget. Over the last 2 years John Kasich and the 
Republicans on the Committee on the Budget have done an outstanding job 
of putting together an alternative budget that in fact reduces the 
deficit further than the administration's proposal, and it does so by 
cutting spending and reforming the way Government works.
  This year's budget resolution offered by the Republicans in the House 
includes a $500 per payer middle-class family tax credit. It fully 
funds our version of health care reform, crime initiatives, and welfare 
reform. It generates $278 billion in net deficit reduction, $152 
billion more than that promised by the Clinton administration.
  We do this through job creation and economic growth. We do this 
through welfare reform, crime control, and our health care proposal, 
but in addition we reform Government operations in a way that begins to 
make Government more effective, more responsive, and certainly less 
costly to the American people.
