                       THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNING

  (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, the gentlewoman from New York State said 
it all when she quoted her mother: Actions speak louder than words.
  Now unfortunately as the calendar gives way to spring and ultimately 
to November, our campaigner in chief seems to be willing yet again to 
shut down the Federal Government in a bald-faced political tactic. Mr. 
Speaker, he is trying to bully this Chamber into spending $8 billion in 
additional taxpayers' dollars in a cynical attempt to be reelected.

  Mr. Speaker, the American people know full well that actions speak 
louder than words. Once again I reach out, Mr. Speaker, to our friends 
on the other side, ask them to join together and to help us govern, not 
to electioneer, not to have politics as usual but to get about the 
business of governing this great Nation.
