             WHAT ARE DETAILS OF PRESIDENT'S BUDGET PLANS?

  (Mr. CHRYSLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome Mr. Clinton to the 
balanced budget battle. You know, we are looking forward to the details 
of his plans. All we know at this time is that 90 percent of its cuts, 
$190 billion, occur in the last year of its 10-year plan. The freshmen 
sent a letter to the leadership and said that we would not vote for any 
budget that did not put this country on the glidepath to a balanced 
budget by the year 2002. The leadership then sent a letter to the 
President and asked him if he would give us his vision, where he would 
like the money spent, and give us a budget that would balance. We asked 
for that to be done before he went to Russia, and in fact we received 
only the budget that gave us $200 billion deficits for as far as the 
eye could see.
  Well I guess at this point he has wet his finger and seen which way 
the political winds are blowing, and can we really take him seriously 
when in fact it was him and his people that worked in the Senate to 
kill the balanced budget amendment by getting six Democrats that had 
always voted for a balanced budget in the Senate to vote against the 
balanced budget amendment.
