                      REARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the President rearranged the 
deck chairs on his sinking ship of state. And today, Democrats will 
come to the floor denying that the ship in sinking at all. But, Mr. 
Speaker, the panic in the voices of our Democrat colleagues shows they 
are none too comfortable with Bill Clinton as their captain.
  That explains why Vic Fazio launched his bizarre broadside against 
Christian Republicans. His sad attempt to paint Republicans as being 
un-American showed how bad things are in the Democratic Party.
  Rearranging personnel in the White House will not cure the problems 
of this administration. Rearranging policies will.
  Instead of taxing more, the President should tax less. Instead of 
spending more, the White House should cut spending first. And instead 
of reinventing more health care bureaucrats, Mr. Clinton should support 
a commonsense health care reform bill.
  Mr. Speaker, the Democrat policies of President Clinton have proved 
unpopular with the American people. He should rearrange those policies, 
and not merely the people implementing them.
