                 NOW IS THE TIME TO BALANCE THE BUDGET

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, the discussion going on here in Congress 
about balancing the Federal budget will continue on the floor this 
week. I think it is important to remember that every day, all across 
this country, millions of American families gather at the kitchen table 
to balance the family budget. They do not make excuses, they just do 
the right thing for the family.
  I believe now is the time for the House and Senate to gather around 
the kitchen table of America and do what is right for America's future. 
We need to balance the budget, reform welfare, and cut taxes so that 
the American family will be able to keep more of their own, hard-earned 
paycheck. The growing expectation for a balanced budget has already 
caused long-term interest rates to fall, according to Alan Greenspan.
  No more talking about balancing the budget, no more reading about it. 
Let's just do it. Let's work together at the kitchen table for the good 
of our Nation.
