                      DIME STORE DEFICIT REDUCTION

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, earlier this year some Members of 
Congress were infected with the me too but syndrome. As we discussed 
welfare reform they would say, ``I'm for welfare reform, but'' or when 
we passed a tough crime bill they said, ``Me too, but, not that bill.''
  Now it appears a strain of that virus has infected the White House. 
President Clinton seems to have come down with me too not as much and I 
have no details syndrome.
  The President told us last week that he was for spending cuts just 
not as much as Congress and he offered no specifics for his so-called 
budget plan. He claimed he was for tax cuts for hard working middle 
class Americans. But the House plan would allow families to keep too 
much of what they earn. And now we learn this week that the Clinton 
budget II, still leaves our children with huge annual deficits.
  Mr. Speaker, we should not be fooled. As this House is trying to save 
the next generation from bankruptcy, the President is offering dime 
store deficit deduction.
