                      LET US REFORM THIS CONGRESS

  (Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
   [[Page H309]] Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, why are the Democrats scared of 
discussing the real issues of the day? Why are the Democrats scared to 
engaged in a real discussion about the issues of importance to the 
American people--like the balanced budget amendment and unfunded 
mandate legislation.
  The American people sent a clear message to us in November to clean 
up Congress. We are working hard to do just that. Republicans will keep 
their promise to the American people to change the culture of 
Washington.
  I'd say to my Democrat colleagues, start working to change Congress, 
and stop working so hard to change the subject.
