        TIME TO KEEP THE PROMISE OF A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT

  (Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, last night in response to President 
Clinton's State of the Union Message, New Jersey Governor Christine 
Todd Whitman did not need equal time to get her message across. That 
message was clear.
  Governor Whitman did not just promise change, she delivered.
  In New Jersey we cut spending and taxes. In New Jersey we have a 
balanced budget. In New Jersey we have kept our promises.
  Just like New Jersey, Americans want a smaller smarter government. 
They want us to make the tough decisions here. The time for making 
excuses is over. The time to act on our promises is now. It has worked 
in New Jersey and it can work here in Washington.
