 HOUSE CONFEREES SHOULD INSIST ON THE HOUSE POSITION ON D.C. SPENDING 
                                  CUTS

  (Mr. BLILEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, in just a few minutes it is my understanding 
that we will appoint conferees on the District of Columbia 
appropriations bill to confer with the other body. At that time my 
friend, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Walsh], will offer a motion to 
instruct conferees to insist on the House language with regard to the 
spending cuts that we mandated.
  Mr. Speaker, I intend to support the gentleman. It is absolutely 
imperative that we do this. The other body, what they did was not near 
as effective as what we have proposed, and it would be a tragedy if we 
receded to their position. It is a shame that we have to do any of this 
at all, but since the District has not seen fit to do it themselves, 
apparently we are going to have to do it for them.
