                     CHAIRMAN RYAN BALANCES BUDGET

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, it is budget week in 
Washington. Today, House Republicans, under the leadership of Chairman 
Paul Ryan, unveiled the new budget.
  Our Nation has racked up nearly $17 trillion in debt due to out-of-
control government spending. In order to prevent our children and 
grandchildren from paying higher taxes with no results, House 
Republicans have found a way to balance our budget over the next 10 
years by cutting wasteful spending, reforming our Tax Code to create 
jobs, preserving entitlement programs, and expanding opportunities for 
all Americans.
  House Republicans understand the severity of the issue and are 
willing to work with the Senate and the President to balance our 
budget. I am very pleased that due to the passage of the No Budget, No 
Pay Act, the Senate will return to regular order and pass a budget for 
the first time in 4 years. I look forward to working with the Senate 
and the President to cut spending and make substantial job-creating 
reforms that will encourage small businesses to create jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
