                 THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO SHOW LEADERSHIP

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, like another Member who came up earlier 
today, I want to talk about the President's veto of the rescissions 
bill.
  The President, of course, does not think it is a good bill. I think 
the bill has problems, too, but obviously not for the same reasons that 
the President thinks. I do not think it goes far enough. I do not think 
it shows enough courage.
  If you want to talk about saving education programs and saving 
education, you need to do it back in the States. We left some money in 
for Goals 2000. I think Goals 2000 needs to be zeroed out. We need to 
get to a point in this Congress where we believe that our parents and 
our teachers and our communities are not so stupid that they do not 
know how to educate their own children.
  Let us educate children at home and let Washington bureaucrats worry 
about what Washington bureaucrats worry about.
  The President needs to come forward with some real spending cuts and 
show some leadership, for a change. That is something he has not done 
in these first 5 months of Congress, and it is something that he needs 
to do or else we are not going to be able to balance our budget.
