                           PATH TO PROSPERITY

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, the Path to Prosperity budget on the floor 
this week reaffirms once again that House Republicans are the only ones 
in Washington providing genuine, serious solutions to our country's 
spending-driven debt crisis.
  We have released a budget that cuts government spending responsibly, 
enacts commonsense reforms, and, most importantly, balances the 
government's books within 10 years.
  Mr. Speaker, what have we heard from the President? Well, nothing. 
The President hasn't even submitted his budget to Congress yet, and it 
is on track to be one of the latest budget submissions in history. And 
the Democratic-controlled Senate's budget, of course, raises taxes and 
never, ever breaks even.
  That is not what America needs, Mr. Speaker. With our budget, House 
Republicans have provided a genuine blueprint for creating more jobs 
and opportunity in America today.
