                  THE ECONOMY UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, today the Republican Party signed a contract 
for warmed-over stew and more trickle-down. It did not work before; it 
will not work now.
  I can understand why the Republican Party wants to come up with 
gimmickry and notion-mongering on the steps of the Capitol and avoid 
the hard work inside the Capitol working with our President for the 
fine economic record that he has produced in the nearly 2 years he has 
been in office.
  I can understand why the Republicans would want to divert the 
public's attention from the fact that the President has produced more 
new jobs overall in 19 months than the previous 4 years combined.
  I can understand why the Republicans would want to divert the 
public's attention from the fact that over three times more private 
sector jobs were created in the 19 months than were created in all 4 
years of the previous administration.

                              {time}  1240

  Mr. Speaker, well, I can understand why they would want to divert the 
public's attention from more than 2 million jobs in the first 8 months 
of 1994. This is what the American people want and need. They want 
jobs. They do want gimmicks. They do not want notion-mongering. They do 
not want trickle down. They do not want warmed-over stew.
