                      THE TIME TO DELIVER IS HERE

  Mr. BROWNBACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to address the body to comment 
about the elections on November 8 and the clear statement the American 
people spoke of at that point, which was to reduce the size, the scope, 
and the intrusiveness of the Federal Government. It has come that time 
to stand and deliver.
  I call on the administration to put forward proposals looking at all 
Federal agencies for their continued work and their efforts in 
questioning whether or not we should reduce the Federal role in these 
areas, and I ask the administration to address that and to examine 
whole roles of agencies and programs. This body has been continually 
focused on the costs of these programs. I would ask the body to 
consider the responsibility of us to our children and the enormous 
deficit that has been put forth, the enormous debt that has been 
accumulated and what responsibility we have to the children of this 
country to free them of that debt.
  Mr. Speaker, it is one thing to spend our children's inheritance. It 
is quite another to spend them in debt, as we have, and also the 
opportunity we have to free the society of these strains.
