                           PROMISES, PROMISES

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Madam Speaker, in his campaign for President, Bill 
Clinton promised to end welfare as we know it.
  It took a year and a half into his Presidency, but the administration 
has finally sent down a sketchy outline of his plan. And even this 
outline will cost more and will continue welfare as we know it.
  This is just one more example of the difference between what the 
President has promised, and what he will deliver.
  He promised a middle-class tax cut, but delivered a middle-class tax 
increase.
  He promised health care reform, but delivered an unworkable socialist 
health care scheme. He promised the most ethical White House in 
history, but has delivered the most scandal-ridden administration in 
memory.
  He promised to be a new Democrat, but he is looking more and more 
like the Democrats of old.
  Madam Speaker, the President gives nice speeches. But I urge my 
colleagues to look closely at how the President really delivers.
