               WHITE HOUSE WEATHER VANE HAS SHIFTED AGAIN

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, meanwhile, back at the White House, the 
weather vane has shifted again. After months of silence, inaction and a 
game of where is Bill, the President has decided to enter the balanced 
budget debate.
  I ask, ``Well, isn't that a risky thing to do? The House has already 
passed its balanced budget, the Senate has already passed its balanced 
budget. Why not go ahead and place a bet on the Houston versus Orlando 
game while you're at it, Mr. President?''
  But, as my colleagues know, it is going to be typical, a 5-minute 
speech to balance the budget, no words, no chart, no math, no 
particular plans, just words, words from this administration.
  Well, that is reassuring. But I welcome his reemergence. We need to 
have a debate, and, even if it is after the fact, let us get on with 
it.
