                            THE WELFARE PLAN

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, it appears that the Clinton administration 
is getting ready to unveil its welfare reform plan in the next 2 weeks. 
It is about time. When President Clinton was still candidate Clinton, 
he promised to end welfare as we know it. Let us hope the 
administration's plans is as good as its rhetoric.
  How can we tell if the Clinton welfare reform plan is any good? Here 
are some guides:
  Will it get people off the Government dole and on to real jobs? Will 
it shrink the size of government? Will it encourage people to take 
responsibility for their own lives? Will it save the American taxpayers 
money?
  Unfortunately, it appears that this plan, like all of the President's 
proposals, will be looking for new taxes, for $9 billion in increased 
spending.
