SHOW US WHERE CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE IN THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET PLAN, AND 
                              BE SPECIFIC

  (Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, shortly after Bill Clinton took 
over as President, he presented his 1993 budget plan. He was, of 
course, criticized by Members of Congress on his spending and taxing 
priorities. He responded to his critics by demanding specifics on how 
they would do things differently.
  In fact, here is a quote from February 18, 1993. In St. Louis, MO, 
the President said, ``My answer is: Show me where, but be specific. No 
hot air. Show me where, and be specific.''
  Well, today Bill Clinton criticizes Congress' balanced budget 
proposal. In fact, he was willing to shut down the Government to prove 
his point.
  He criticizes, but he provides no specifics. He trashes our budget, 
but he does not say how he would do things differently.
  Mr. Speaker, the President should end the hot air campaign and show 
us exactly where he would do things differently. Show us where, and be 
specific.
