                           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, last night in an interview, President 
Clinton was asked this question by Dan Rather: ``Are you saying, flat 
out, that you will veto a bill sent to you that contains only the 
insistence to balance the budget, you'll veto that?''
  The President said, ``Yes.''
  Mr. Speaker, the President has divulged what Republicans in Congress 
have been saying all along. That is, President Clinton is too closely 
aligned with the liberal Washington establishment to do what is right 
for the American people. He is more concerned about spending more money 
on Government than balancing the budget, and he is more concerned about 
bureaucracy than our children's future.
  The responsibility for this Government rests squarely on the 
shoulders of President Clinton. He asked for a clean bill. He has one. 
Now he says he will veto it.
  Folks back home have been calling me to hang in there, balance the 
budget. Well, now it is time for the folks back home to call President 
Clinton. The number is 202-456-1414.
