            WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CONSERVATIVE CONGRESS MAKES

  (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 California. It seems that mediscare and school lunches 
are back. My colleagues remember that from 1996, do they not? The 
spurious threat and the out and out untruths propagated by the left in 
their sole attempt, in their desperate attempt, to regain political 
power.
  Certainly, Mr. Speaker, we can all agree that there is enough waste, 
fraud and abuse in these Washington-run programs that government can be 
run more efficiently and dare I say more compassionately, not by 
kowtowing to the interests of the labor bosses within government, but 
instead looking for true limited and effective government as Thomas 
Jefferson sought.
  While facts are stubborn things, we would simply point out to my 
friends on the left that throughout their time and the last time they 
were in control of this House they spent all of the Social Security 
surplus, they gave us the largest tax increase in American history, and 
they sunk us deeper into debt.
  My, what a difference a common sense, conservative Congress makes.
