    MEXICAN LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM REMAINS A WHITE HOUSE INITIATIVE

  (Mr. BEREUTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. President, the gentleman from Oregon has indicated 
that the Republican leadership in the House has some sort of an agenda 
to move forward the Mexican loan guarantee program. That is not 
factual. The Republican majority has a responsibility, which we are 
exercising, to listen to the President of the United States when he 
proposes a legislative initiative, and that is what the Republican 
majority has done.
  Obviously, the President has not made his case well or sufficiently 
with respect to the Mexican loan guarantee for both minority and 
majority Members. The ball is back in your court, Mr. President; it is 
not a Republican initiative in the House.
