         CONTRACT WITH AMERICA PROMISES VOTE ON BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, Ronald Reagan used to say, ``there you go 
again.'' The White House recently criticized cutting taxes and cutting 
spending. Why? Because, as most things this administration opposes, 
they are good ideas that are right for America.
  The Republican contract with America, ladies and gentlemen, promises 
a vote on a balanced budget amendment. The White House claims that such 
a commitment would cost, listen to this, $743 billion? That is funny. 
Where I come, the people whom I represent, think that cutting the 
budget and balancing the budget would save $743 billion. What is wrong 
around here? Come on. There are 41 days to go before the election. We 
are going to put a Republican in the Speaker's chair for America.
