                      THE STRATEGY OF THE LIBERALS

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, the strategy of the liberals is very clear 
here. Let us distract the House. Let us focus on the real issues today. 
We want to get Government workers back to work. We want to see a 
balanced budget in 7 years. But I know it is going to be difficult with 
the Cabinet that the President has.
  For example, Secretary O'Leary has been wasting money. According to 
the GAO, her agency has been ineffective. Then there was Vice President 
Gore's report that said she was inefficient. Then there was a first 
class travel, taking a large contingency. Then there was a private 
investigatory firm that was going to cost us $46,500 of taxpayer 
dollars, this year.
  Well, now we find out she has also hired a media consultant at $277 a 
day, at taxpayers' expense, to improve her image. She spent $200,000 on 
this.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for Secretary O'Leary to resign. We need for 
her to do that just to balance the budget and get these Government 
workers back to work.
