                      SEVEN SUMS UP BUDGET DEBATE

  (Mr. GANSKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GANSKE. Mr. Speaker, let me sum up the current debate on the 
budget. One word: Seven. We are committed to balancing the Federal 
budget in 7 years with honest numbers. Not 8, not 9, not 10. Seven. Why 
seven? Because it is not too extreme, it is not too fast. But is 
realistic. We will not compromise, we will not back down. We will 
balance the budget in 7 years. The sooner the President of the United 
States understands this, the sooner we can stop the Government 
shutdown, and the sooner we can balance the budget. Seven.
