                          CONTRACT FOR REALITY

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, ``We can't balance the budget because it 
would increase the deficit.'' That is the Democrats' argument against 
the balanced budget amendment and the contract for America. Balancing 
the budget, they tell us, would just cost too much.
  No wonder their party is in so much trouble.
  I do not agree with every bill included in the contract for America, 
but I do support bringing these bills to the floor for an honest, open 
debate.
  That is the promise Republicans made to America. That is what the 
Democrats have denied Americans for 40 years.
