                         A TRUE BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the previous speaker was a Democrat, and he 
was bragging about how small these deficits are in the next 5 years 
under the Clinton program. Let me read them to you, ladies and 
gentlemen.
  In 1995, $171 billion; that is small? In 1996, $166 billion; that is 
small? In 1977, $183 billion; that is small? It goes on and on.
  In 5 years it increases the national debt by another $1 trillion, 
ladies and gentlemen. You are going to have a Republican alternative 
offered today that is going to cut those deficits substantially. you 
are also going to have a bipartisan balanced budget presented to this 
body around 4 or 5 this afternoon which actually balances the budget 
and begins to show surpluses at the end of that 5 years. I hope you 
will pay a lot of attention to this because this is a chance to turn 
around this sea of red ink which is ruining this country.
