             PLEA TO PRESIDENT: HELP US FIND REAL SOLUTIONS

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my 
colleague from Maryland. His math comes up short. Only 2 percent of 
Federal spending goes to administration? That is just not true. But 
then again there is a lot that goes on here that seems to be part of 
the spin cycle.
  Mr. Speaker, I noted with great interest this morning the President 
met with the minority leadership. In 2 years' time he has never 
bothered to sit down with the people who run the House of 
Representatives, members of the majority, to craft a policy for 
America's future. It has been very interesting, Mr. Speaker. In fact 
tomorrow on the President's itinerary are two fund-raisers, one in 
Florida, the other in New York. The final one is to benefit a Member of 
this House who sits on the Judiciary Committee and who has aspirations 
of joining the other body. Now even in a town as cynical and as hard-
bitten as Washington, D.C., can people not see some conflict of 
interest? We are happy to stay as long as it takes to make sure that 
education is left up to the people, not the Washington bureaucrats. Mr. 
Speaker, we implore the President of the United States to join us to 
find real solutions.
