       NEW MAJORITY BRINGING RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT TO WASHINGTON

  (Mr. CHAMBLISS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, my children are in public schools and my 
wife teaches public school.
  Mr. Speaker, this week the new majority of this body will unveil its 
plan for reforming the Medicare system--a plan that is long overdue for 
a system that will soon pay out more than it takes in.
  Meanwhile the President and Members of the other side of the aisle 
crisscross the country with their deficit spending, big government 
message. Over the years they failed the American people by not giving 
them a responsible Government that operates within its means.
  Now that the new majority is about the business of bringing to 
Washington responsible Government, the other side has resorted to 
generational warfare, scaring seniors into believing they are the 
targets of our balanced budget when in fact they are not.
  Our message is simple: We are committed to Medicare's continued 
viability for the future of seniors and our children. We are committed 
to positive changes that will balance our budget and encourage 
individual responsibility--the same goals of any American family.
