                            JUST SAY NO CLUB

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, the accomplishments of the 103d Congress 
are taking America in the right direction again. Congress has moved 
forward despite the best efforts of the ``just say no'' club. The 
psychological term is called being oppositional. Whatever the majority 
of the American people want they oppose it. They said no to the jobs 
bill. They said no to education bills, twice. They said no to the 
Family Medical Leave Act. And they said no to the crime bill. They said 
no to a smart and tough budget that has cut the deficit, created 2.9 
million new jobs, and turned our economy around. I think it is time the 
American people start asking why? Why do some say there is not a crisis 
and then pretend to have a solution? Why do some say there is something 
wrong with America and yet only stand in the way of positive change? 
The answer is quite clear. The Democratic agenda for change is working 
and America is back on track.
