                 THE GANG THAT WOULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT

  (Mr. BARR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, House Democrats, searching vainly for an issue 
to sidetrack the Contract With America, have now decided to attack the 
Speaker regarding a book he has not written yet. Instead of attacking 
Republicans for writing books, I suggest the Democrats write their own 
book. The suggested title might be ``The Gang That Wouldn't Shoot 
Straight.''
  After all, Democrats are not being straight with the American people 
regarding their own agenda. They are not being straight on why they do 
not want to pass the balanced budget amendment. In fact, they want to 
spend more money. They are not being straight with the American people 
on why they opposed the unfunded mandates bill. In fact, they like 
unfunded mandates.
  Mr. Speaker, the Democrats are the gang that will not be straight 
with the American people.
  Republicans want to change the way Government works. Democrats want 
to change the subject.
