                           ALL THE KING'S MEN

  (Mr. EVERETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EVERETT. Madam Speaker, like Humpty-Dumpty, all the President's 
men have been trying to put our welfare system back together again. Not 
change as we know it, but put it back together again.
  But, Madam Speaker, all the king's men could not make our welfare 
system work well. The President needs to do what he promised and to 
replace our welfare system with something that works for all Americans. 
We need to stop tinkering and start working to end welfare as we know 
it.
  The people should ask themselves if the Clinton plan meets these 
standards:
  Would it save the American taxpayers money? Would it get people off 
of the government dole and onto real jobs? Will it shrink the size of 
government? Will it encourage people to take responsibility for 
themselves?
  Madam Speaker, if the President's plan does not meet these criteria, 
it is not welfare reform. Certainly, it is not ending welfare as we 
know it.
