                       FIXING THE FEDERAL DEFICIT

  (Ms. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HAYWORTH. Madam Speaker, this past week, I had the pleasure to 
visit Fryer Machine Systems in Patterson, New York, in our beautiful 
Hudson Valley, Congressional District 19. They have spent 30 years in 
the Hudson Valley making the big machines that make components for 
manufacturers around the world. A local employer, loads of potential 
being held back by nearly every aspect of Federal policy. Trade, 
environment, education, financial services, and health care all are 
burdening this great local business. But the number one problem that 
Mr. Fryer would like us to fix here in the Federal Government is the 
Federal deficit.
  So as we approach our work this year, I will bear this vividly in 
mind. We must have sympathy, respect, and a sense of awe for our 
hardworking, hard-pressed taxpayers and job creators. They are the true 
engine--not the Federal Government. They are the true engine of growth 
and the ultimate purchaser and securer of our liberties.
