                    THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT ACTION

  (Mr. WELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELLER. Mr. Speaker, last week, President Clinton was caught in 
the act of selling another huge whopper to the American people. This 
time Bill Clinton told an audience of fat cat Democrat contributors 
that he thinks his 1993 tax increases were a mistake.
  He then attempted to hide behind his mother by saying he forgot her 
advice about making a speech after 7 p.m.
  Mr. Speaker, I have not forgotten my mother's advice. My mother told 
me to go to Washington and cut taxes, save Medicare, reform welfare, 
and balance the budget. My momma wouldn't care how tired I was or about 
the time of day. My mother and my constituents gave me a clear agenda 
that I will not back away from. No more excuses, no more inside-the-
beltway gimmicks. The American people want action and they want 
Congress and the President to do the right thing for America's future--
even if it means working late at night.
