          SUPPORT AMERICA BY SUPPORTING A BALANCED BUDGET NOW

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, last night the President 
vetoed the only balanced budget seen in 26 years.
  The President's veto is a blow to our children and the future of this 
country. To me a balanced budget means prosperity, it means growth, it 
means stability. It means that our children will live in a county that 
can give them more than it gave us. To me, it means freedom.
  The President vetoed all this.
  Republicans sent the President a balanced budget--not because it is 
good politics but because it is good for America. We see a future where 
there's workfare not welfare, where there's independence not 
dependence.
  Republicans believe that people, not the Government, drive the Nation 
and they--not us have made it the best and most prosperous country in 
the world.
  Support America--support a balanced budget now.
