                      IT IS STILL THE SAME IN D.C.

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, in an effort to cut the budget, the GAO 
called the OMB, the CBO, the RTC, the NSC, the ITC, the GSA, and the 
IRS, and they had no success. So the GAO then called the DOD, the DOE, 
the DOT, and the DDT, and they could find no cuts. So the GAO then 
called the CIA, the DIA, the OSI, the PCB's, and the PCP's, and they 
could find no cuts. So, then they called OSI, ORI, and IUD and could 
find no cuts. And finally, so frustrated, they called the PMS, and 
there were no cuts to be made.
  So they decided there should be a whole new program called the 
Accounting Selection System, hereafter to be known as A-S-S, which only 
goes to show us, when it comes to bureaucrats and cuts, it is still the 
same in Washington, DC. It is called the B.S. in D.C.
  And with that, I yield back the B-O-M-T.
