                   TIME TO WORK ON A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. FRISA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRISA. Mr. Speaker, I am sure most Americans feel as I do that we 
have heard enough of the blah-blah and the yak, yak, yak. We have a job 
to do, Mr. Speaker.
  When I ran for election to this great body, I promised I would be 
different. I would not be like the Democrats who controlled this House 
for 40 years, ran up America's charge cards, got ourselves into debt, 
so that so much of the budget now is just going to pay the interest on 
our national debt. And regardless of the President's crocodile tears 
and his empty words and his quivering bottom lip, we are not going to 
be intimidated, because the simple fact is, Mr. Speaker, we have done 
our job and put a balanced budget on the table. The President has 
nothing but empty words.
  We are here to work. As soon as the President is prepared to really 
roll up his sleeves, get the political will and drop the posturing, 
then we will have a balanced budget.
