                       THE BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, the American people are clearly seeing where 
the battle lines are drawn. The Democrats will defend the Great Society 
of Lyndon Johnson and the $4.5 trillion we have already been spending 
on a failed system.
  Republicans are working to transform the welfare state into a work-
for-benefits system.
  Democrats will fight to keep the money flowing for the beltway 
bureaucrats here in Washington.
  The Republicans will keep the money flowing back to the States like 
Kansas to help the American people.
  The liberal Democrats have accused the Republicans of being mean-
spirited because Republicans want to change the system that promotes 
destruction to the family, hurts children and that seriously undermines 
the future of our Nation.
  The Republicans will work to change a system that has failed the 
American people completely.
  The battle lines have been drawn. May the best ideas win.
