                          THE BALANCED BUDGET

  Mr. THOMAS. First, let me congratulate the Senator from Texas on his 
very strong endorsement of the balanced budget amendment, the thing 
that has really been, what will be, the capstone of what we have done 
all year here, that will really make fundamental changes in the 
direction the Government takes. I admire his strength standing for it.
  Mr. President, I send a bill to the desk and ask it be referred 
appropriately.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill will be received and referred to the 
appropriate committee.
  Mr. THOMAS. I thank the Chair.
  (The remarks of Mr. Thomas pertaining to the introduction of S. 1434 
are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills 
and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. THOMAS. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Santorum). The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
