                             CAVEAT EMPTOR

  (Mr. GOSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, the President has been logging thousands of 
miles and thousands of dollars on Air Force One--attempting once again 
to sell his health plan to skeptical Americans. Today it's Milwaukee. 
Some people see the President as a master salesman who could get us to 
buy just about anything, but the pools actually show his health care 
plan just is not selling. Determined to reverse their public relations 
disaster, the White House now has a new strategy. They have repackaged 
the Clinton health care plan with a glitzy new sales pitch that is 
short on details, loose on facts and long on warm and fuzzy, feel-good 
rhetoric. Remember the time-honored phrase caveat emptor--let the buyer 
beware? Well, Mr. Speaker, more and more Americans are becoming aware 
to beware because they now know there are better choices than the 
Clinton health plan.
