                      INSTANT REVISIONIST HISTORY

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my dear 
friend from Illinois and his instant revisionist history, because the 
fact remains that the current Chief Executive, aided by the former 
majority, the liberals who once dominated this Chamber, gave us the 
largest tax increase in American history. Indeed, this same President, 
along with the liberal minority, in fact, proposes to raise Medicare 
premiums for seniors coming up following the next election. That is the 
bottom line. That is the truth.
  Mr. Speaker, the facts are clear: The American people get kind of 
tired of this political one-upmanship. They want us to come to grips 
with realistic policy alternatives to balance this budget in 7 years, 
using the honest numbers of the nonpartisan Budget Office.
  Once again the challenge is clear: Do we play the games of politics 
of the past, or instant revisionist history, or do we put our shoulder 
to the wheel and collectively govern, both the legislative branch 
working with the executive branch. Once again we reach out our hand 
saying help us govern. Let us get a balanced budget.
