          TALK TO ME ABOUT THE BAL- ANCED BUDGET DIVIDEND PLAN

  (Mr. BROWDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROWDER. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on the Budget during the past 
months has traveled around the country to listen to the wisdom of the 
American people. I have asked at these public hearings whether they 
want us to use budget savings to pay for a tax cut or to apply them to 
the budget deficit. The overwhelming response has been, ``Cut the 
deficit first.''
  The tax cut is a big train on a fast track, but Mr. and Mrs. America 
are right. We should make any tax cuts dependent on our meeting deficit 
reduction targets pointing toward a balanced budget.
  Mr. Speaker, I am circulating a plan to do this, and, if any of my 
colleagues would like more information, I encourage them to talk with 
me about the balanced budget dividend plan.
