                           HON. TOM A. COBURN

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 20, 1995

  Mr. COBURN. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, due to weather delays in my 
return from Oklahoma, I was unable to cast my vote on House Joint 
Resolution 132, the resolution supporting a balanced budget in 7 years. 
I have made clear since January that balancing the budget is our 
highest priority if we are to secure a bright future for our children 
and grandchildren. Therefore, had I been here, I would have voted 
``aye'' on House Joint Resolution 132.
