               IT IS TIME TO OVERHAUL THE WELFARE SYSTEM

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, we begin today to discuss the debate the 
Republican welfare reform plan.
  Now, our Democrat colleagues have tried to put their own negative 
spin on our plan. However, they still have not got it quite right.
  Let me explain the entire bill in a few simple words: Work, family, 
personal responsibility, and hope for the future. Now, how hard is that 
to understand?
  Republicans are going to replace a failed system of despair with a 
more compassionate solution that will work to get people off the public 
dole. Through the dignity of work and the strength of families, we will 
offer hope for the future of millions of Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, the time has come finally to completely overhaul the 
welfare system.
