                          DESPERATE DEMOCRATS

  (Mr. HUTCHINSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. Speaker, the liberals are desperate. Floundering 
in the polls, the public is poised to throw them out of Congress in 
November. So what do they do? They try to distort the Republican 
record. Instead of a program for more spending, more government, more 
taxes, and broken promises, Republicans have not just a plan, not just 
a promise, but a contract with America, that will cut the government, 
cut redtape, cut the taxes, with a $500 per child tax credit, a promise 
of a vote on a balanced budget amendment, and a term limitation 
proposal, and next Tuesday we will unveil our contract with America to 
America.
  But before we can unveil it, the liberals assail it.
  And because a big lie seems easier for them to tell than a little 
one, they claim that it will do the opposite of what it promises it 
will.
  If we had a plan that would increase spending as much as they said 
ours does, they would be for it.
  In the war of ideas, our contract with America will prove that 
Republicans are armed to the teeth. The Democrats' carping criticism 
shows that they are unarmed and proud of it.
