                  TRIANGULATION BECOMING BIANGULATION

  (Mr. GANSKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GANSKE. Mr. Speaker, everyone is now familiar with the infamous 
White House strategy of triangulation.
  This describes President Clinton's strategy of distancing himself 
from the Republicans in Congress and the Democrats in Congress. It was 
devised by his political guru Dick Morris, the same man who yesterday 
said, ``I run the government.''
  Well, both the Senate and the House have passed a continuing 
resolution that would keep the Government open and stipulates only one 
additional thing--that President Clinton agree to negotiate a 7-year 
balanced budget with honest numbers.
  And, I am pleased to say, 49 Democrats voted with the Republicans in 
the House and 7 Democrats voted with the Republicans in the Senate for 
the proposal.
  It seems that this triangulation strategy is fast becoming a 
biangulation strategy--those who support a balanced budget against 
those who do not.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge President Clinton to stop with the political 
games and get down to serious governing. I urge President Clinton to 
sign the continuing resolution, open up the Government and commit 
himself to a 7-year balanced budget.
