                          AND THE BEAT GOES ON

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, that sound you hear from the other side of 
the aisle is the last drumbeat of the old order. Our liberal friends 
continue to march to the beat of Government mandates, Government 
spending, and Government taxing. That is why they are so quick to 
endorse an increase in the minimum wage, so quick to oppose the 
balanced budget amendment, so desperate in their opposition to the 
line-item veto.
  But the American people are marching to the beat of a different 
drummer. They look to the future and to us for new solutions, smaller 
Government and fewer mandates.
  The American people want the private sector to be able to create jobs 
that pay more than just the minimum wage. They want a future free of 
nonsensical, repetitive, and unproductive regulations. And that is why 
the people voted against liberal Democrats in overwhelming numbers last 
November.
  Mr. Speaker, the tired, old drumbeat of bigger Government, bigger 
taxes, and bigger spending goes on. Thankfully, the American people 
have stopped listening. They have started reading the ``Contract With 
America,'' soon to be No. 1 on the best seller list and the No. 1 
priority of this New Republican Congress.
