                         THE PRESIDENT'S VISION

  (Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming. Mr. Speaker, according to the latest poll, 68 
percent of the people agree that President Clinton ``has a vision for 
the country.'' Today's poll, however, indicates that only 37 percent of 
Americans agree with that vision.
  The President's vision is far different than that of the average 
American family.
  President Clinton views the American taxpayer as the primary provider 
for his social welfare programs. He views the Federal Government as the 
primary job creator of the economy. He views the social welfare worker 
as the best criminal justice enforcer. He views the Federal Government 
as the best provider of health care. He views the individual with 
distrust and the Government with complete trust.
  Mr. Speaker, President Clinton does indeed have a vision for the 
country; unfortunately, his vision is a nightmare for most American 
families.
