                           THE CLINTON SHIFT

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, the President admitted his health care 
plan would result in the shift of jobs.
  In fact, about 100,000 new bureaucrats will be hired to run the 
Nation's health care system if the Clinton plan goes into effect, while 
hundreds of thousands of small business employees will be laid off.
  Indeed, this is only one example of the Clinton shift.
  Labor Secretary Robert Reich went down to a Dayton Tire Plant in 
Oklahoma the other day to personally shift about 1,500 workers out of a 
job.
  Using arcane OSHA regulations as his battering ram, the Labor 
Secretary closed down the plant in the name of reform.
  Mr. Speaker, I've heard of the Ted Williams shift, the Four Horseman 
shift, and the swing shift. But this is the first I've heard of the 
Clinton shift.
  I urge the American people to beware. The Clinton shift may just 
shift you out of a job.
