                     THE LACK OF A DEMOCRATIC PLAN

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, a once great party left with nothing, 
nothing but a nifty little slogan, and that slogan is, ``We can do 
better.'' Madam Speaker, that is the Democrat Party here in Washington, 
DC.
  It was announced in the press in October that they were going to come 
out with their great agenda in November. November came and went, they 
had nothing.
  In January they said, that is going to be the time we are going to 
lay out our agenda, our positive agenda for America. January came and 
went.
  Twice more they set dates to roll out their agenda, but nothing. They 
got nothing except this nifty little phrase, ``We can do better.'' It 
is a sad state of affairs when they have no agenda, no ideas. All they 
have is negative attacks, partisan attacks here in Washington. We need 
more, and we, the Republicans, can do better.
