                            TREASURY-POSTAL

  (Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming. Mr. Speaker, as the House considers another 
spending bill this week, the American people should ask themselves if 
they are getting their money's worth.
  Looking at the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill, the answer seems 
to be no.
  I say, ``If you are looking for oversight, you won't get it. If you 
want change, you'll be disappointed. If you demand a different way of 
doing business, you can just forget it.''
  Mr. Speaker, the President promised to reinvent Government. The bill 
reinvents more coverups.
  Instead of allowing the Wolf amendment to require a financial 
disclosure for political consultants, the Democrats said no. Rather 
than voting to prohibit the use of funds for other than official travel 
on military aircraft, the Democrats said no.
  Mr. Speaker, with this Treasury-Postal appropriations bill the 
American people just are not getting their money's worth.
