                            THE NEW SALT II

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, it is time for a nuclear moratorium, a 
moratorium on the thermo-nuclear rhetoric spouted by the Democratic 
White House and those who continue to defend the failed welfare state 
and skyrocketing deficits.
  We talk of transforming the poor. They hold up children. We want to 
end subsidized illegitimacy. They hold up children. We talk about 
giving more flexibility to the States. And they hold up children.
  Mr. Speaker, have they no shame? Children cannot and should not be 
used as political shields. We have the moral obligation to our children 
to reduce the deficit and reform welfare. It is because we care about 
saving the future for our children and grandchildren, and it is because 
we know that our children do matter that we are taking on the difficult 
tasks of cutting the Federal bureaucracy. We are willing to make the 
difficult decisions.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time to sign the new SALT II treaty. S. Stop the 
rhetoric. A. Assume responsibility. L. Limit the bureaucracy. T. Tackle 
the problem. The nuclear rhetoric must end.
