                              NEVER AGAIN

  (Mr. SENSENBRENNER asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, my good friend from Texas (Mr. 
Doggett) has a very short memory. He tells the House and the American 
people to give us a Democratic majority and we will show them what we 
can do. Mr. Speaker, I remember the last time there was a Democratic 
majority and the Speaker from Texas, and the House passed no 
appropriations bills at all by the 30th of September, and all 13 
appropriation bills ended up being put in one huge massive and 
continuing resolution that the President of the United States, Ronald 
Reagan, plunked on that desk there, stack after stack after stack, and 
said no way will I ever sign one of those continuing resolutions again.
  Now that is what happened the last time there was a Democratic 
majority, and I hope that we never have that happen again under either 
a Republican or Democratic majority.
