           DOES THE ADMINISTRATION FAVOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS?

  (Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, with no budget or overall spending 
plan, the administration apparently wants at least another $25 billion 
to save the jobs of local government workers; yet at the same time, the 
administration's space plan would destroy 30,000 jobs, many of them 
scientists and engineers who are working in the private sector who 
would cost this government nine times less. Is there any kind of wonder 
why so many people watching what we're doing in Washington suffer from 
policy whiplash? It's almost as if this administration is saying, If 
you are a government worker, we'll bend over backwards to help you, but 
if you're in the private sector, especially a scientist or engineer, 
you'd better be hoping that Wal-Mart is hiring.
