                   GEORGIA TREND: ECONOMIC GOOD NEWS

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, the July issue of Georgia Trend magazine 
begins its ``State of the Economy'' page with a startling revelation: 
``This year has fooled most economists.''
  This year's boom also seems to have fooled our Republican colleagues 
and they are purposely trying to fool America, too.
  Georgia Trend predicts that Georgia will be the fastest growing State 
east of the Mississippi River in 1994. Along with Nevada, Utah, and 
Idaho, Georgia is fueling America's economic recovery.
  The Southeast has further accounted for roughly 50 percent of all the 
job creation in America.
  Mr. Speaker, the evidence is clear and the verdict is in. This 
Democratic administration and this Democratic Congress have 
triumphantly struggled for hard-working Americans.
  As Republican witchcraft makes several hundred thousand dollars 
disappear over a cauldron of Whitewater hearings, I want to warn all 
hard-working Americans: Do not let the gridlock gang work their voodoo 
on you.
