                  KEEPING THE BALANCED-BUDGET PROMISE

  (Ms. PRYCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE. Madam Speaker, President Clinton has said that he would 
present a 5-year, a 10-year, an 8-year, and a 7-year balanced budget 
plan.
  Obviously, the President has a problem being committed to one 
particular course of action. It is really difficult to know where he 
stands.
  Well, the American people do not need this kind of indecision. The 
national debt stands at $4,985,913,011,032.65. Republicans in Congress 
are not backing down from the promise we made a few months ago, to 
balance the budget and give our children a brighter future.
  Madam Speaker, when it comes to the budget, the President has offered 
no leadership, has given us no plan, and has left us no choice.
