                   SUPPORT THE A-Z SPENDING CUT BILL

  Mrs. FOWLER, Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the A to Z 
spending cuts plan, and House Resolution 300, the rule which would 
allow open debate on spending cut amendments in H.R. 3266.
  As an advocate of congressional reform, I have worked with my 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle to achieve significant change, 
and I have found a bipartisan approach to be very effective. I believe 
that sensible spending cuts must be also be enacted in a bipartisan 
fashion.
  The A to Z bill would open up the budget process to the entire 
Congress by allowing Members to propose specific spending cuts, debate 
those cuts and vote on them, up or down; this legislation could be a 
real vehicle for spending reform.
  I have signed the discharge petition, and I urge my colleagues to do 
the same.
