                        CROWN JEWEL IN JEOPARDY

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, now that the Speaker's temper tantrum has 
ended and Federal workers are back at work, it is time that this 
Congress got on with passing the appropriations bills and a mainstream 
balanced budget.
  In order for us to get to a balanced budget in 7 years, the 
Republican leadership is going to have to abandon its tax-cut promises 
to Wall Street. We cannot afford to be cutting taxes for the wealthy 
when we need to balance the budget and protect Medicare, education, and 
the environment.
  Moreover, Mr. Speaker, we need to go after the $500 billion in 
corporate welfare in the budget, and make Germany and Japan pay for 
their own defense.
  So to the Republican leadership I say, reduce the tax breaks to the 
rich and cut out the corporate welfare, and we will get to a balanced 
budget.
