           PRESIDENT CLINTON DID AN END RUN--AROUND CONGRESS

  (Mr. ROHRABACHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, no amount of class warfare can obscure 
the fact to the American people that the Republicans voted for term 
limits, the Democrats voted against term limits. But today I would like 
to speak about another issue.
  As we are discussing the Contract With America, billions of dollars 
are being drained from a fund that was established to stabilize our 
currency. Where are these taxpayer dollars going? They are being sent 
without so much as a vote of Congress to the bank accounts of Wall 
Street speculators and to the efforts to prop up a corrupt Mexican 
elite. While we are trying to balance the budget by cutting spending, 
President Clinton did an end run around Congress to transfer billions 
of dollars of taxpayer dollars to this Mexican bailout scheme and ten's 
of billions of more will be spent unless we put a stop to it.
                              {time}  1045

  Mr. Speaker, the only way to put a stop to it is to sign a discharge 
petition, and I hope my colleagues will join me in signing the Stockman 
discharge petition, and I hope the public will see whether their 
Congressman's name is on that discharge petition.
