                      THE A TO Z SPENDING CUT PLAN

  (Mr. DOOLITTLE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Madam Speaker, ever since we passed the President's 
budget last year, the American people have been clamoring for more 
budget cuts. Time after time the Congress has rejected budget cuts. 
They are always too specific or not specific enough.
  Well, the time has come to separate the sheep from the goats, Madam 
Speaker, and see who has the guts to make the hard choices to cut our 
budget. The A to Z spending cut plan is a radical new idea put forth by 
a bipartisan majority of 230 Members of this House.
  Very simply, this plan calls for a special session of the Congress to 
offer and vote on specific budget cuts to take place right now.
  Already the Democrat House leadership has been strong-arming Members 
from their side of the aisle to not support the discharge petition. The 
good old boys of Congress are out to protect the system once again.

                              {time}  1210

  It is not going to happen, Madam Speaker. The people of this country 
demand real cuts and an end to the good old boy network that is trying 
to kill A to Z. I call on my colleagues to support responsibility and 
accountability and sign the A to Z discharge petition.
