                            NO TIME TO STALL

  (Mr. GANSKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GANSKE. Mr. Speaker, this is no time to stall. For 40 years the 
House leadership on this side of the aisle stalled reform from 
Congress. For 40 years the House leadership resisted passing a balanced 
budget amendment. They refused to reform our welfare system. They 
passed unfunded mandates on to the States.
  And now there are those who are trying to put off reform again. That 
is why they use dilatory tactics to slow the legislative process. It is 
why they concentrate on issues that have nothing to do with changing 
this Congress. They wish to stall in order to deny the American people 
a real chance to change business as usual.
  Well, Mr. Speaker, if the last election was any indication, this is 
no time to stall. I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle 
to stop stalling and to start working with us to reform this Congress.
