Mr. Speaker, to quote a Member of the other body: ``Enough is enough.'' It is time for the President to do for the American Government and the taxpayer's employees what he did for the government and people of Mexico. Last year, President Clinton provided $20 billion United States taxpayer dollars to Mexico so they could pay their bills and employees. But President Clinton vetoed the appropriations bills that would have paid the bills for the Commerce, Justice, and State Departments and their employees. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. It is time to override the irresponsibility of the President. Vote yes to override President Clinton's veto of the Commerce, Justice, and State appropriations bill. Mr. Speaker, It is time for Congress to do for America what the President did for Mexico.
