                     THE BASIC PREMISE OF STRENGTH

  (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, once again I listened with great interest 
to my friend from New Jersey set down his parameters for what a 
majority party should do and offer us an interesting definition of 
strength. I respectfully beg to differ.
  The most stirring example of strength is to keep your promise to the 
American people. The most stirring example of responsibility is to save 
this country and this Government from fiscal disaster for generations 
yet unborn. The most stirring example of true responsibility is to 
provide for our seniors by making sure that their health care is still 
here in 7 years, to make plans for the next generation and not just the 
next election.
  The sad fact is that the liberals on this side of the aisle and the 
liberals at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue do not seem to 
understand that basic premise of strength.
  Once again, the new majority says to our friends on the other side, 
join with us and govern, but let us play by the rules.
