                    PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE

  (Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, within a decade, entitlements and interest 
will consume the entire national debt, and the President has presented 
no balanced budget, and the Clinton Democrats across the aisle have 
continued the status quo.
  The Republicans have announced a plan to balance the budget and to 
protect our children's future, and the Democrats have announced 
yesterday that they have no plan.
  Well, let me tell you, folks, here is their plan. Right here is what 
they do on Medicare to save it. Right down here is what they do to 
protect our children. Right down here is what they do to provide tax 
relief for working families.
  Folks, there is no plan. That is the fact. The Republicans have a 
plan, a plan to balance the budget, protect our children's future and 
to protect, preserve, and improve Medicare.
  The Republicans are willing to stand up to the plate and be counted 
and protect our future. The Democrats have their plan right here.
  Take a look.
