                     TEAM AMERICA NEEDS A TIME OUT
  (Mr. LaHOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, in football or basketball, a team may call a 
timeout when they have lost control of the game and they need time to 
get their act together. Sometimes you need that timeout to catch your 
breath or slow your opponent's momentum.
  Well, I happen to believe that the Federal Government has lost 
control of the regulatory process in America. That's why we need to 
take a timeout from passing new regulations.
  As we speak, the Clinton administration is planning to pursue another 
4,300 new regulations for this fiscal year. That is too much, 
especially from an administration that claims to be reinventing 
Government.
  Mr. Speaker, Team America needs a timeout to stop our opponents, Team 
Regulation, from running roughshod over us. Let's vote for H.R. 450 and 
return sanity back to Federal regulations.
