                     REPUBLICANS UNVEIL BEST AGENDA

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, I was asked by someone the 
other day, ``What is the Republican agenda?''
  Now, of course my first reaction was to think clearly this is someone 
who has never watched the 1-minute speeches.
  But instead I told them about the Republicans' BEST agenda:
  B is for best defense, E is for excellence in education, S is for 
saving Social Security, and T is for tax relief.
  Republicans clearly have the BEST agenda.
  A stronger military, improved education, a reformed Social Security 
system that will protect present and future seniors into the 21st 
century and tax relief for the middle class, investors, job creators 
and families. That is our agenda.
  B for best defense, E for excellence in education, S for saving 
Social Security, T for tax relief. It is a positive, winning agenda for 
the Republican Party and for securing our Nation's future.
