                          ACADEMY AWARD WINNER

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, every year we all await the Academy 
Awards. It really captures our attention to see who is going to be the 
winner in all the different categories.
  Well, there is one category our Speaker has sewn up. There is 
absolutely no question that Newt Gingrich has now absolutely sewn up 
the category of best performance by a child actor this year. There is 
only one problem. The Speaker is not a child.
  Now that this country has paid dearly for his temper tantrum and paid 
dearly for his shutting down the Congress, shutting down the whole 
country because of his little peeve, could we get a performance that is 
more statesmanlike? I think that is what this country would really 
like.
  But congratulations, Mr. Speaker. If you wanted to be the best child 
actor, you got it.
