                           A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, this week the House of Representatives will 
make history. For a quarter century Government has been the problem 
rather than the solution. Government policies have squandered our 
children's future, stagnated our workers' wages, assaulted our 
families' values and eroded our citizens' freedoms.
  This week, once again the people will govern. We will vote on a 
program to transform the Federal Government by making it work for the 
people. Our plan will balance the budget for the first time in 25 years 
by making Government responsible.
  Our balanced budget restores our children's American dream by ending 
the practice of squandering the children's inheritance on big 
government. It returns power to the people by ending the 
micromanagement of intrusive Washington bureaucrats. It prepares for 
the future by saving programs that would otherwise go bankrupt like 
Medicare. It restores democracy by making government officials public 
servants. The people of America want a balanced budget.
