                          CLINTON BUDGET NO. 2

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, I am glad that the President has submitted 
Clinton budget No. 2. I am glad that he has finally realized that the 
American people really do want a balanced budget, and while we are 
still waiting on the details, I did find something very interesting in 
the 15-page summary the President submitted.
  Clinton budget 2 does not propose to eliminate any Cabinet-level 
departments of the Federal Government. Mr. Speaker, this is amazing. 
The Republican budget cuts the huge Federal bureaucracy by eliminating 
three Cabinet-level departments. The Federal Government is too big and 
spends too much.
  Republicans want to streamline the Federal Government by cutting 
waste and eliminating unnecessary positions. The Republican majority 
understands the American people want a smaller government.
