              RHETORIC DOES NOT ALWAYS SQUARE WITH REALITY

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

[[Page H11]]

  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the 
aforementioned legislation by my friend from Ohio and urge other 
Members to join us in this effort.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a gulf between the rhetoric of Washington and 
the reality of everyday life in America. Not only are religious 
broadcasters under attack from this administration and its political 
appointees, also over our break we heard the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration was going to come into one's home if one had a 
personal work station, if one was a telecommuter.
  Mr. Speaker, it is in that spirit that I bring quite literally hope 
to the House floor today, the Home Office Protection Enhancement Act. 
Because even though the administration has backed away, now we know 
that rhetoric does not square with the reality.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I would call on our President tonight to make 
sure that his words match his actions and to ensure that the only snow 
job in Washington was the blizzard visited upon the East Coast earlier 
this week.
