                        CUTE AND CLEVER SPEECHES

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, you know, the Democrats are being so 
clever today that it makes you think they borrowed some of that $40,000 
Hazel O'Leary spent on a PR firm to come up with some good 1-minutes, 
and I congratulate them only for being cute and clever today, $133,000 
a year, and they get their reading material from cartoons. They go to 
college, they graduate, they go to law school, and what do we get? We 
get tabloids and cartoons.

                              {time}  1100

  Mr. Speaker, I give my one-minute on this side of the aisle today, 
and although there are only a few yards difference between these 
lecterns, often there are miles and miles and huge canyons of 
philosophical distance.
  I think it is important that we start talking bipartisanship. Last 
night, 48 of your Members joined 241 of our Members in saying we are 
going to put partisan sniping behind us. We are going to put the 
Federal employees who are out of work back to work. We are going to end 
the furloughs. We are going to reopen the Social Security services 
office, the Passport office. We are going to reopen the National Parks, 
and most of all, 48 of your Members in a bipartisan fashion said yes to 
balancing the budget in 7 years. In doing this, they did not sell out 
on welfare; they did not compromise on taxes.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, you all come over to our side; we will talk.
