                  WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT OUR CHILDREN?

  (Mr. FUNDERBURK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, who really care about America's 
children?
  Mr. Clinton and the congressional minority claim that they do. This 
is the same White House whose budget will add $250 billion to our 
existing $5 trillion debt over the next 5 years. This is the same 
Democratic Party which killed the balanced budget amendment, and fought 
tooth and nail against a minuscule 1 percent cut in Federal spending 
this year. This is the same crowd which has saddled each and every 
child in America with $17,000 of debt the minute they are born.
  Mr. Speaker, I will tell you what real concern is. It is enacting 
$100 billion in real spending cuts in foreign aid, the Federal 
bureaucracy, Amtrak, Legal Services, the arts, and welfare. So you see 
Mr. Speaker, there is one party which cares enough to spare the future 
generations of American children from the suffocating burden of debt. 
We were sent here to safeguard the future of every poor, middle, and 
working class child. We will show we really care about our children by 
gutting Federal spending and ending business as usual.
