                     ANOTHER WHITE HOUSE FLIP-FLOP

  (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 President Clinton admitted to a 
fundraiser for his reelection campaign that he felt that he, along with 
the help of the Democratic Congress, raised taxes too much in 1993. One 
would assume at a fundraiser for a Presidential incumbent the majority 
of those in attendance would be wealthy. The President told wealthy 
Democrats he taxed them too much. But when the Republicans want to cut 
taxes, Clinton thinks we are giving too many tax cuts to the wealthy.
  Republican tax breaks, like Clinton's tax increases, touch everyone, 
including senior citizens, small business, and middle- and low-income 
families. Many in politics would say President Bush lost in 1994 
because of his reversal on his ``read my lips'' pledge. Mr. Speaker, I 
suggest it is impossible to read the current President's lips when he 
is on all sides of every issue.
