                         A VICTORY FOR CHILDREN

  (Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, today is a historic day. I hear my friends 
across the aisle say, we are for a balanced budget. We think it is 
important. They have been here 40 years. It has been a generation since 
they have balanced the budget.
  The Republicans are pleased that the President finally agrees with 
the American people that balancing the budget should be a priority. 
Today is truly a victory for our children, $187,000 is what a child 
born today will be saddled with in taxes just to pay the interest on 
the national debt. The Republicans have a plan to balance the budget, 
the Balanced Budget Act of 1995.
  We have heard now that the President is going to veto that plan. We 
challenge the President to propose his own 7-year plan. We have our 
plan. Mr. President, let us see your plan. Then let us sit down and 
negotiate the details. Mr. President, show us your plan.
