                            A MAN OF CHANGE?

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, recently House Democrats have been posting 
signs outside their offices that read ``Not For Sale.'' I guess their 
reasoning for doing so is to distance themselves from the current 
administration. Democrats might argue that it's in reference to their 
blatant hypocrisy over a committee seat, but since the White House has 
begun selling access to the open ear of the executive branch, I think 
it's because it looks bad back home. The reason it looks bad, is 
because it is bad. This administration claims to be the party of the 
poor and working class. Mr. Speaker, I ask how many factory workers, 
teachers or civil servants you know who could afford to spend $100,000 
for a couple of meals at the White House. This administration has 
claimed to be the party of change and I guess it's true because 
$100,000 is a lot of change.
