                       WE WILL BALANCE THE BUDGET

  (Mr. NORWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to include extraneous material.)
  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I hold in my hand a petition signed by 137 
hard-working men and women from the R&R Manufacturing Co. in Auburn, 
GA. They signed their names to this paper asking me to vote for a 
balanced budget. They understand the cost of not balancing our budget. 
They understand why we must make a shared sacrifice in order to save 
our children's future. Republicans in the House and Senate understand--
we voted to balance the budget. Even the President said he would 
finally submit a balanced budget--of course he then changed his mind. 
Maybe he just doesn't understand. But to my friends and neighbors back 
home like Mr. Jean Withers at R&R Manufacturing, I say this--we 
listened to what you said in November--we are making the hard choices, 
and we will balance the budget. It's all about keeping your word. And 
to my 137 friends back in Auburn, GA, I am keeping my word to you.
