                       THE DEVIL IS IN THE DENIAL

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, it is always an honor to follow my 
colleague from Ohio in these morning sessions.
  This morning, Mr. Speaker, I thought I would illustrate a couple of 
differences between our budget plan, the conservative commonsense 
budget plan, and what the White House has offered. This is the budget 
reconciliation package. Yes, it is lengthy. Yes, it is exhaustive. But 
yes, it is complete. We have managed to do in less than 40 weeks what 
the liberals could not do in 40 years. That is, change the size and 
scope of the Federal Government.
  On the other hand, here is the President's plan, such as it exists. 
Some interesting charts, a few talking points, but, Mr. Speaker, the 
devil is not in the details. The devil is in the denial.
  As our Speaker and the leader of the other body go down to the other 
end of Pennsylvania Avenue to meet the President, I wonder which 
President will show up.
  I hope it is the President who says he is for a balanced budget in 7 
years. I hope it is the President who says he wants a tax cut for the 
middle class. I hope it is the President who says he wants welfare 
reform. If it is that President, Mr. Speaker, let him join with us to 
balance this budget and get this country back on track.
