                ELECTIONS ARE A POSITIVE FOR REPUBLICANS

  (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, I listened with great interest to my dear 
friend from New Mexico talk about the voting last night, and with 
typical Orwellian Newspeak and an inability to capture basic 
mathematics. Once again, the gentleman misses the point.
  When the dust clears, the Republican party will have picked up three 
key seats and one through five major elections. The fact is for the 
first time in 28 years, a Republican made huge gains, even though we 
did not win the Governor's mansion in Kentucky. While work is going on, 
while we have a 50-seat majority in the New Jersey House, while we will 
see the governorship come to us in Louisiana, while we saw a 
reaffirmation of our policies in Mississippi, the American people have 
their eyes on what goes on in this Chamber. The fact is the American 
people want to see us balance the budget.
  I listened with all due interest and due respect to the gentlewoman 
from Colorado [Mrs. Schroeder] talk about giving a Christmas gift. 
Well, the greatest Christmas gift we can give seniors and we can give 
youngsters and we can give everybody in this Nation is balancing our 
budget, getting our fiscal house in order. Those are the most important 
numbers.
