                      STANDING FIRM ON PRINCIPLES

  (Ms. DeLAURO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I was proud to be a Democrat. 
Proud as a Democratic President stood firm on the principles of our 
party, and stood up for our seniors, our children, and our environment.
  Yesterday's agreement lays the framework for balancing the budget in 
a way that reflects the priorities of the American people.
  Balancing the budget means balancing the books, but it also means 
balancing our priorities. Protecting health care for our seniors, 
educational opportunity for our youngsters, and our natural resources 
for the next generation, must be our goals. Those are the priorities of 
the American people. Those are the priorities of the Democrats in 
Congress. Yesterday, the President stood firm for those principles and 
stood up for our seniors, our students, and our environment.
