                     NOW IT'S THE FOREST GUMP PLAN

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, life seems to be imitating art in the health 
care debate as the Clinton administration's strategy calls to mind this 
summer's movie blockbusters.
  The Clinton plan may be dead, but the Democratic leadership is busy 
crafting a Forest Gump plan. It's like a box of chocolates, since we do 
not know what we are going to get.
  Meanwhile, the First Lady has boarded the scariest bus trip since the 
movie ``Speed'' to sell the as-yet unknown plan.
  The public recognizes promises of something for nothing as ``true 
lies.'' No wonder congressional support for a Government takeover of 
health care is melting fast. Members who support it will be blown away 
at the polls this November.
