          MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I can not think of a better Christmas gift 
that we could give our country this year than a balanced budget. You 
see, a balanced budget means that our children and grandchildren will 
have a future filled with the American dream instead of the American 
debt. What better present could we give to the American people than a 
stronger economy, more jobs, lower interest rates on home mortgages, 
car loans, and student loans.
  Mr. Speaker, all this could happen if the President will cut out the 
gimmicks and excuses and get serious about signing a balanced budget. 
It is time for the administration to stop the politics as usual.
  Our country depends on it. The people deserve it. Merry Christmas to 
all and to all a balanced budget.
