                   CHANGING THE WAY GOVERNMENT WORKS

                                 ______


                            HON. RON PACKARD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 11, 1995
  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, last November the voters overwhelmingly 
chose to change the way Government works. Last week, we successfully 
changed the way Congress does business. Next, we will change the 
business Congress does.
  We took our first steps toward turning back bloated, wasteful, 
inefficient government. I am committed to continuing down the path to 
less taxes, less spending, and less regulation.
  In order to change the way government works, we must change the way 
Washington works. The out of control Federal spending beast thrived on 
40 years of liberal tax and spend policies. We must pass the balanced 
budget amendment to reign in the spending beast and impose discipline 
on Washington's wasteful spending habits.
  Our Nation's forefathers envisioned a government that served the 
people--not the other way around. A balanced budget amendment would 
help fulfill that vision.
