                  CALL FOR REDUCED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

  (Mr. BARR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, during the recently concluded campaign, which 
culminated in the landslide victory for myself and many other 
candidates all across this land, we heard a message loud and clear. 
That message was: less government, lower taxes, and less regulation.
  Mr. Speaker, let us not engage as we have seen in recent days up here 
in the old Chinese torture of death by a thousand cuts, to engage in 
death by a thousand amendments.
  We have heard that message. The message is, we the people of these 
United States want lower taxes, less Government, and less regulation. 
We will have the opportunity to stand tall before the American people 
this week and pass the unfunded mandates bill and pass a balanced 
budget amendment with a set of teeth in it; namely, the three-fifths 
majority to raise taxes.
  This is what the people want. Let us give the people what they want, 
and they have spoken oh so eloquently. Let us take up that charge and 
do them proud.
