                          THE BUS STARTS HERE

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, what a difference 40 years makes. 
When Harry Truman was the Democrat in the White House he had a sign on 
his desk that read ``The Buck Stops Here.''
  In other words, when the going got tough then it was his 
responsibility. In contrast, today when the going gets tough this 
administration hits the road. Literally.
  Last week the White House began its bus campaign to salvage its Big 
Government, big spender health care program. It is not the buck that 
has stopped, but the bus that has stopped.
  However, this strategy has a major oversight. the problem with the 
Clinton health care plan is not that the people do not know it. The 
problem with the Clinton health care plan is that the people do not 
like it.
  Boy, don't they like it. According to the latest CNN/Gallup poll, 59 
percent of Americans oppose the Clinton plan, while only a sliver thin 
one third of Americans still support it. Let us get off the bus and get 
to work--on health care reform most Americans can swallow.
