  WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRAT MINORITY NEED TO PUT THE BRAKES ON RUNAWAY 
                                SPENDING

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, just so there is no misunderstanding about 
what is really going on here, let us review for a moment tax cuts.
  President Clinton and his liberal Democrat allies in the Congress has 
seen to it that working American families will not receive one red cent 
in tax reductions next year.
  Spending cuts.
  The President and his liberal friends here in the Congress have 
fought fiscal restraint at every turn. The President has vetoed 
spending bills because they spent too little, and the Democratic 
leadership here in the Congress has advocated even more pork barrel 
spending and more foreign aid spending, even at the expense of the 
Social Security Trust Fund.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for the White House and the liberal 
Democratic minority in the Congress to put working Americans first for 
a change. It is time to put the brakes on runaway spending. It is time 
the President put the veto pen away and quit raiding the Social 
Security Trust Fund.
