           REPUBLICANS REMAIN COMMITTED TO CHANGING CONGRESS

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, over the weekend President Clinton said 
the Democrats and Republicans should be committed to tackling problems 
larger than our partisan squabbles. I agree. The new Congress should be 
committed to balancing the budget, ending crime, and reforming 
Government.
  But the sad fact is the rhetoric on that side of the aisle and the 
actions that follow rarely line up. While Democrats may talk about 
putting aside partisanship, they seem obsessed by ghost historians, 
book deals and personal attacks.
  Despite this partisan maneuvering, Republicans remain committed to 
the promises we made to the American people. We will stop forcing the 
States to pay for policies we implement and we will transform the 
culture of Washington by passing the balanced budget amendment.
  It should be quite obvious to all that Republicans want to change 
this Congress and our friends on the other side of the aisle just 
wanted to change the subject.
