       TODAY REPUBLICANS DELIVER CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S PROMISE

  (Mr. RIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, a child born today will pay an average of 
$187,000 in taxes over 75 years just to cover his or her share of the 
interest on the national debt. Let me repeat that--a child born today 
will owe $187,000 just on the interest of the national debt.
  Mr. Speaker, for too long our Federal Government has squandered away 
the future of American families and their children. The Republican 
majority made a promise to the people to reduce the size of the Federal 
Government, balance the budget, and reduce overburdensome taxes, all in 
order to provide hope for the future. Today, we will pass the budget 
reconciliation bill which puts us on the path to a balanced budget by 
the year 2002.
  Mr. Speaker, what the Clinton administration has promised, the 
Republicans will actually deliver.
