  WASHINGTON POST POLL SHOWS MORE PEOPLE TRUST REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS

  (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 Washington Post poll that my colleague 
just cited had other interesting numbers in it that he failed to 
mention:
  More people trust Republicans in Congress to cut taxes rather than 
President Clinton.
  More people trust Republicans in Congress to reform the welfare 
system than President Clinton.
  More people trust Republicans in Congress to reduce the deficit than 
President Clinton.
  More people trust Republicans in Congress to reduce crime than 
President Clinton.
  More people trust Republicans in Congress to handle the Nation's 
economy than President Clinton.
  And finally, more people trust Republicans in Congress to handle the 
main problems facing our Nation today, more so than the liberals and 
President Clinton. The poll is very clear, Mr. Speaker. They trust the 
Republicans. We are on track with welfare reform this week. We hope 
success will be here by the end of the week.
