       BROKEN PROMISES AND UNACCEPTABLE LEGISLATION BY DEMOCRATS

  (Mr. ARMEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, there they go again. The President of the 
United States has come to the American people with a legacy of 
unfounded promises, broken promises, unacceptable legislation on health 
care, mythical legislation on welfare reform. The President and his 
party cannot get anything done because they cannot get together with 
the American people.
  Now the Democrats, with their control of the White House, their 
control of the House sufficient to pass any bill they wanted, plus an 
extra 40 votes, their control of the Senate, with ability to pass any 
bill they wanted, plus 6 extra votes, are screaming and hollering about 
Republican guardians of gridlock.
  Mr. Speaker, when we watch our beloved Dallas Cowboys once again come 
to Washington and beat the Redskins, people in this town will look at 
the Cowboys defense and talk about the guardians of gridlock. But, Mr. 
Speaker, what America will see is fine Christian young men doing the 
Lord's work against a wicked force in an evil city.

  Democrats need to understand, they cannot come to the American people 
with broken promises, false promises, and failed ability, and blame it 
on the Republican minority. They got to go to work.
