                            THREE RESPONSES

  (Mr. WHITE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WHITE. Mr. Speaker, I have sat in the Chamber today, and I have 
to respond to three things I have heard from the other side.
  No. 1, on the budget, it is very interesting to hear people who have 
controlled the House for 40 years talk about how the Republican budget 
somehow is not serious about controlling the budget and getting the 
deficit under control. It is the only budget that is going to do that, 
and I think most of us know that.
  No. 2, on health care, we have a good plan that we have agreed to. It 
gets costs under control for the first time. It is a plan that people 
should support.
  No. 3, one of the most outrageous things I have heard on the House 
floor for a long time has to do with the Chicago Bulls. Sure, they 
played a good game. Sure, they are a good team. The fact is the Bulls 
were lucky. The Sonics will be back next year, and the Bulls had better 
be thankful there were not a few more games left this year, because 
they would have been in big trouble this year.
