           CHANGING THE WAY GOVERNMENT IS DONE IN WASHINGTON

  (Mrs. CUBIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CUBIN. Mr. Speaker, today we will end months of intense 
negotiation with the administration on the omnibus appropriations bill, 
which provides funding for the Departments of Commerce, Interior, 
State, Labor, Justice, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans, and 
Health and Human Services.
  Mr. Speaker, this Congress has achieved historic savings in the 
Federal budget. We have saved taxpayers $43 billion, resulting in the 
lowest projected deficit in 14 years and the single largest cut in 
government since World War II.
  Please remember, the President does not spend one penny; the Congress 
spends the money, and this Republican Congress is responsible for 
cutting the deficit $43 billion, keeping our word, and changing the way 
government is done in Washington.
