                          CHANGING THE SUBJECT

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, in last November's election, the American 
people decided to change the direction of the Federal Government. The 
people decided they wanted to pay less taxes. The people wanted fewer 
Federal mandates. The people wanted less government.
  The American people want to change the Congress. House Democrats want 
to change the subject. Rather than join with Republicans in passing the 
Contract With America, Democrats are trying to sabotage the process. 
Rather than arguing about policy, Democrats talk about GOPAC. Rather 
than embracing the balanced-budget amendment, some Democrats find 
excuses to vote against it.
  Mr. Speaker, this is sad. When it comes to reform, House Democrats 
would rather change the subject then change the Congress.
