                         LET ME COUNT THE WAYS

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Madam Speaker, employer mandates: Why do Republicans 
loath these? Let me count the ways.
  We loath these with depth and breadth and height. To protect the jobs 
they will kill, we are willing to fight.
  We loath these with foreboding and fear. It is a huge payroll tax, 
that much is clear.
  We loath these because the small businesses they will close. And that 
will only be the start of our economic woes.
  We loath these for those who won't be hired. And the economic slump 
for which we soon will all be mired.
  We loath these for reasons few can doubt. We know we're better off 
going a different route.
  Let me say to the President as we proceed to the health care debate: 
If you want Republican support, take out your employer mandate.
