                          REDUCING THE DEFICIT

  (Mr. ALLARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute, and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, this week the House will have the chance to 
cut $26 billion in spending.
  Once again the American people will find out who really wants to cut 
the deficit and who just wants to talk about the deficit.
  The Penny-Kasich-Stenholm motion to instruct will be an excellent 
chance for constituents to determine whether their Congressman should 
be retained or replaced in November.
  A vote for this motion will be a vote to cut the deficit by $26 
billion, a vote against the motion will be a vote to add $26 billion to 
the deficit.
  Last month Congress rejected the balanced budget amendment. Many of 
the opponents said, ``We don't need a constitutional amendment, we can 
just cut spending.'' Well here is the test, $26 billion more, or $26 
billion less. I vote for less.
