                       CALL FOR A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, for 40 years Congress has failed to do 
what middle-class Americans and State legislators across the country 
have done, and that is to balance the checkbook. Let the word go forth 
today that the checkbook has been passed for the first time in 40 years 
to a new generation of leaders that want to balance the budget and that 
want to balance the checkbook.
  What do we hear? We hear nothing but smoke and mirrors from people 
that talk about GOPAC and try to create images of Nazi librarians where 
they do not exist. They are red herrings.
  We are here to do a serious task and that is to balance the budget 
before it is too late. We need help from both sides of the aisle, 
because if we do not do it now, it is going to be late soon.
