                     REPUBLICANS HAVE THE ONLY PLAN

  (Mr. ALLARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, President Clinton says he thinks we can 
balance the budget in 7 years. Republicans have passed a bill that 
balances the budget in 7 years.
  President Clinton says he wants to cut taxes. Republicans have passed 
a bill that cuts taxes for families and promotes economic growth.
  President Clinton says he wants to save Medicare from bankruptcy. 
Republicans have passed a bill that saves Medicare for this generation 
and sets the stage for the baby boomers.
  President Clinton says he wants to end welfare as we know it. 
Republicans have passed a plan to revolutionize the failed welfare 
system.
  Mr. Speaker, talk is cheap. If the President is going to veto our 
balanced budget bill, then he is obligated to show us specifically what 
he would do differently. Balancing the budget is about more than just 
press conferences and talking points, it is about specific plans. And 
right now Republicans are the only ones with a legitimate plan.
