     EFFICIENCY, COST SAVINGS ARE HALLMARKS OF LEGISLATIVE BRANCH 
                          APPROPRIATIONS BILL

  (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, the Republican majority continues to make 
good on our promise to change the status quo by cutting Government. 
Today we are bringing to the floor two measures to prove our 
dedication--the legislative branch appropriations bill, and legislation 
to establish a Corrections Day.
  Through the legislative branch bill, we will reduce our own budget by 
$155 million for the next fiscal year. We have cut congressional staff 
and eliminated unnecessary programs.
  Corrections Day will help purge the Federal Government of ridiculous 
red tape. It will especially help State and local officials, who have 
been dealing with ridiculous regulations for too long.
  Mr. Speaker, a smaller, less costly, and more efficient Government is 
our goal.
