WHO DO YOU TRUST?
(Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, George Bush wants our children to
learn more in school. He wants those who work to keep more of their
hard-earned dollars, and he wants those who are retired to have a
secure future.
George Bush trusts the people. His opponent wants more government.
George Bush trusts parents with school choices. He trusts taxpayers to
spend their dollars better than the government. He trusts retirees to
invest their savings.
On the other hand, his opponent has a trust problem. Under the
Clinton-Gore administration, numerous officials have been indicted or
convicted, 83 witnesses refused to testify in court about campaign
contribution violations, and another 21 fled the country.
To restore integrity to the White House, the American people deserve
a president they can trust. George Bush wants a government worthy of so
great a people, a government that is honest, nonpartisan, and scandal-
free. Only one presidential candidate can lead America to that shining
goal: George Bush.
