                 THE PRESIDENT'S SMALL BUSINESS RECORD

  (Mr. COLLINS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday President Clinton 
met with a select group of small business owners to comfort their 
doubts about his health care reform proposal.
  The President stated, ``I will never, never sign a health care reform 
bill that would harm small business.''
  Let us review President Clinton's record:
  Education: Rhodes scholar, educated from Arkansas to Oxford.
  Politics: stretches from Arkansas to Washington.
  Ah. Small business experience? Yes, the President has small business 
experience. It is called Whitewater Development.
  Yes, Whitewater Development was a small business. Whitewater failed, 
probably due to undercapitalization, undercapitalized.
  That reminds me of the First Lady's comments when she was asked about 
the effects of the President's health care plan on small business, and 
I quote: ``I cannot be responsible for every undercapitalized small 
business.''
  Mr. Speaker, it appears that there needs to be a little pillow talk 
at the White House about health care reform and its effects on small 
business.
