                        THE WORST IS YET TO COME

  (Mr. DOOLITTLE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Mr. Speaker, let me thank the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. 
Traficant] and concur with him in his remarks and urge people to sign 
that discharge petition. That is a very important bill.
  Mr. Speaker, as the American people open their checkbooks and pay 
their first round of Clinton taxes tomorrow, I urge them to keep in 
mind this one simple fact: The worst is yet to come.
  If you feel you are not making as much money as you once did, it is 
not your imagination. It is the President's new taxes.
  Indeed, instead of taxing the rich as he claims, the President's 
energy and Social Security taxes have hit the middle class the hardest, 
ironically the very group that he promised would get a substantial tax 
cut. And the worst is yet to come.
  If the Clinton health reform plan goes into effect, the American 
people can expect to pay an additional 8 percent payroll tax that will 
kill jobs and spur inflation.
  Mr. Speaker, we have had enough of broken promises. It is time to 
turn away from high taxes and big Government and to bring some much 
needed relief to middle America.
