                     CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN ALL YEAR

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Madam Speaker, as many other colleagues of mine who 
come to this well have noted, today is in fact Halloween. In listening 
to the Clinton liberals here on the other side talk over the past 
several months, I have come to the conclusion that they have really 
been trying to celebrate Halloween all year long.
  Madam Speaker, it really makes for perverse verse. Because when we 
talk about Medicare, the liberals howl about Mediscare; and when we 
speak of Medicaid, the liberals moan of Medifraid; and when we pass the 
Balanced Budget Act, the liberals scream, ``Give us your tax dollars, 
Jack;'' and when we discuss welfare reform, the liberals bitterly cry, 
``Oh, please keep the norm.''
  Madam Speaker, the liberals have tried their fear tactics, and they 
have cried wolf once too often. The American people want us to balance 
the budget, reform welfare, and preserve and protect Medicare and 
Medicaid.
  Madam Speaker, let us get serious. Friends, join us and let us give 
the American people what they really want.
