                         ALL BLUSTER, NO CHANGE

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, when Bill Clinton ran for 
President, he promised the American people change and less spending. 
Looking at his budget proposal, the more the President talks about 
change, the more things stay the same. The President's status quo 
budget keeps higher taxes, cuts little, and, worse yet, health care, 
welfare, and crime are not even on the budget.
  Mr. Speaker, the Republican alternative to the budget is a serious 
effort to enact real change. It reinvents government to save the 
taxpayers billions of dollars. It gives tax relief to middle class 
families, and it provides the funding for welfare reform, health care 
reform, and anticrime initiatives.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time the President stops talking and starts 
acting. His budget is all bluster and no change.
