                    GETTING FINANCIAL HOUSE IN ORDER

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, tonight I want to commend our Republican 
leadership in the House for taking a bold move to actually look at ways 
to get our financial house in order. It is time that we move forward, 
that we move forward as a government and look at these programs that we 
have been spending more and more and more on every year.
  As a result of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, we have had to 
spend a lot of money in the gulf coast region; but we have to do as a 
government what families do across America, and that is looking at the 
family budget and saying where should I spend and not spend. That is 
what we are going to do as Republicans in the House. I am so proud we 
have Republican leadership that is willing to take on this courageous 
fight to cut spending and keep returning every taxpayer's dollar back 
to them as much as possible.
  Mr. Speaker, I am happy about the leadership we have in the House, 
and I am glad we have bold leadership.
