                   MORE ON THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. VISCLOSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, recently, Republican candidates were 
summoned to Washington to sign a contract with their congressional 
leadership.
  The Republican leadership contract claims to balance the budget by 
cutting taxes for the wealthy and increasing defense spending.
  Anyone who believes this, might be interested in the Republican 
leadership contract diet--you lose all the weight you want by stuffing 
yourself with cake and ice cream.
  These same people might be interested in the Republican leadership 
contract medical degree--you become a doctor by watching ``General 
Hospital'' and ``Oprah'' every day.
  The American people are too smart to be tricked by this plan. Like 
any snake oil, they know the reality will not match the rhetoric. The 
Republican contract is the same old voodoo economics that tripled our 
national debt in just 12 years.
