                       FIX THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

  (Mr. CHRYSLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, when I was elected to Congress, my 
constituents gave me clear, easy-to-understand instructions. My 
constituents fully understand that the policies that have come out of 
Congress since the 1960's have failed.
  My instructions are clear: Fix the Federal Government.
  That means cutting taxes. Why? Because money that the people earn 
belongs to them, not the Government.
  Fixing the Federal Government means saving Medicare so that our 
grandparents and every American will have health care beyond the year 
2002. It also means balancing the budget because there is absolutely no 
way we can sustain $200 billion deficits forever.
  And, finally, fixing Government means changing the failed welfare 
state. Too many families and too many people have been destroyed by a 
system that rewards dependence and self-destructive behavior.
  We must work together in Washington and in the media to get things 
done for America and for the American taxpayer.
