                         IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, this November the voters are going to be 
offered a real choice--vote to maintain the status quo, or vote to 
change the way Congress does its business. After 40 years of Democrat 
control of the House, the Democrats have continuously strangled issues 
that are important to the American people. It's time to make a change.
  Republicans have signed a contract with the American people. We have 
pledged to bring to the floor issues like term limits, congressional 
reform, tax cuts for families, welfare reform. If Republicans take 
control, we promise to take action in the first 100 days. And, unlike 
Bill Clinton's empty promises of middle class tax cuts and health care 
reform, we will keep our promise.
  It is time to make a change, Mr. Speaker--it is time to make a change 
for the better. It is what the American people want, and it is what the 
American people deserve.
