                   THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD GET THE FACTS

  (Mr. GOSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I would love to respond to the gentleman who 
has just addressed us and tell him that we have a standing offer: It is 
$1 million if he can find those cuts. We are still waiting. The 
challenge has been out there.
  It is not working. The people in this country no longer are being 
deceived. The polls show that. I have been to town meetings. I find 
that people are angry that Democrats are trying to mislead them, that 
the Clinton administration is trying to mislead them. People do not 
like to be scared unnecessarily. I think that is a very good thing that 
they do not.
  I would suggest that the gentleman might want to talk to our new 
colleague, Tom Campbell, when he arrives here and find out just exactly 
what is going on out there in America, because people know the truth. 
We are providing for Medicare. We are increasing Medicare. We are going 
from $4,700 per capita to over $7,100 per capita in our budget. 
President Clinton's budget does not balance. CBO says it one more time, 
it does not balance. We will stand behind our challenge. Get some 
facts.
