            CORRECTIONS DAY PROCESS IS RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT

  (Mr. EHRLICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EHRLICH. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in support of 
H.R. 3056, the 18th bill brought to the floor of the House this session 
under the corrections day process.
  Since the commencement of corrections day, the President has signed 
nine bills into law, and the House has passed eight bills that are 
waiting further action in the Senate.
  The American people are demanding a more responsive government, and 
corrections day is a key part in meeting their demands. H.R. 3056 
provides a technical correction to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation 
Act of 1985; it permits certain county-operated health insuring 
organizations in California to qualify as organizations exempt from 
certain otherwise applicable Medicaid requirements, even though they 
enroll Medicaid beneficiaries residing in another county.
  I believe this bill we are considering today is a perfect example of 
how the corrections day process works to correct outdated regulations 
that place financial burdens on many industries in the United States.
  I want to recognize Chairman Bliley, Mr. Riggs, and the Commerce 
Committee for the expedient and hard work they did to get this bill to 
the floor.
