                      TAX AND SPEND IS BACK AGAIN

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, $8 billion, that sure is a lot of money, 
and it just happens to be the amount of extra Washington big government 
spending that President Clinton wants.
  Where will this $8 billion come from? If the President has his way, 
it is going to come right from the pockets of the American taxpayer.

                              {time}  1030

  That is right, tax and spend is back again, but do not worry, 
America, because if you recall, the President said he feels your pain.
  You know, I go home every weekend to the central coast of California, 
and do you realize how many people come to me and say, take more money, 
take more of my tax dollars and spend it on ineffective Washington 
programs? Well, you can understand no one does say that to me.
  The message from the folks at home is very simple: They are tired of 
their tax dollars being spent on wasteful spending here in Washington, 
DC, and they are tired of spending for big government.
  It is time for this Congress to say no to higher taxes, and it is 
time to say no to more government Washington spending.
