                            THE BIG SPENDERS

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I have been sitting here patiently waiting 
to take up the rule on the tax cut package. I have been looking through 
the list of speakers from the Democrat side of the aisle. They all talk 
about how they cannot vote for this tax cut because they want to reduce 
the deficit.
  I am just going through a list from the National Taxpayers Union from 
this past year. Almost every one of these speakers appears on this list 
as the biggest spenders in the Congress. Not only do they appear on 
this year's list, but last year's list and the year before that and the 
year before that.
  Where is the credibility for those that say they want to stand up 
here and vote to reduce the deficit?
  I am going to make a challenge to you, every one of you that have 
stood up here and spoken against this tax cut because you want to lower 
the deficit. We will have a reconciliation bill coming to the floor. I 
kept a careful list, and I am going to ask every one of you to vote for 
balancing the budget, which will come later this year. Good luck.
