                           INTERNET IN UGANDA

  (Mr. DELAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DELAY. Mr. Speaker, as the President travels the continent of 
Africa, he has made a whole lot of promises. For example, earlier this 
week he promised to send taxpayers' money to Uganda to help them wire 
their schools for the Internet. We have schools right here in the 
District of Columbia with roofs that leak, and the President has 
promised money for the school districts of Uganda.
  You would think that Bill Clinton is running for the President of 
Uganda. But I doubt that the people of Uganda would support the 
President's agenda of higher taxes and more Washington spending. I 
wonder if this is just another version of executive privilege.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope the President returns soon. The way he is making 
promises in Africa, we can all kiss that surplus good-bye.
