                 FAILURES OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION

  (Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, last night, President Clinton, and today my 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle, have spoken about the 
success of the Clinton administration. Let us look at the facts.
  Since the Clinton policy has taken hold, interest rates have doubled, 
the dollar has reached a new low, trade deficits continue to soar, 
housing sales this week collapsed, the largest increase in new jobs are 
part-time, low paying jobs, and Government jobs for the first time now 
exceed private sector manufacturing jobs. Our foreign policy is in a 
shambles.
  I say to you, what does this mean for our future? My colleagues, I do 
not want public housing for my children or your children. I do not want 
make-work, dead-end jobs for my children. I do not want my children to 
be second-class citizens in a dangerous world. What do the American 
people want? What they want is less Government spending. They want 
fewer Government programs, and the American people want hope, security 
and real jobs in their future.
