             DEBT CEILING MUST BE LINKED TO BALANCED BUDGET

  (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, I listened with great interest to my 
friend from New Jersey again and again and again using the word 
``clean.'' I would suggest to my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, that is 
inappropriate for this fundamental reason: We have failed to clean up 
this city. Thus far, the mission is still in front of us, to try to 
reconcile the problems of our Nation but not to always resort to big 
government as the answer.
  The point was made at this podium 2 nights ago. The President of the 
United States came in, and on the headline in the Washington Post it 
said the President embraces GOP themes. Well, let us break it out from 
party authorship or pride of authorship and let us work together.
  The problem remains the same. The budget has yet to be brought into 
balance despite the fact that this new majority gave the President a 
balanced budget with some votes from the other side of the aisle. To 
clean up our situation, we must embrace fiscal sanity, and these things 
are joined together, and we have to reconcile the differences.
