Mr. Speaker, I thank all those who join us this evening to assess where we are headed with the majority budget plan which we will pass shortly from the Committee on the Budget for the American people to offer a roadmap that means continued prosperity for the American family for Main Street as well as Wall Street and all those avenues in between, for those who make their living from the soil in terms of farming and resource-based industries, and for those quite simply, Mr. Speaker, who work hard and play by the rules. In the 1960s, there was talk of a credibility gap. Sadly, in this town at this time with the current administration there exists a credibility canyon that, quite frankly, eclipses for its sheer magnitude the dimensions of that incredible wonder that is found in the State of Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park. And sadly, it is not beautiful. Because the ugly truth of this credibility canyon is beautiful rhetoric, notwithstanding, sadly, when it comes to the administration and those who, Mr. Speaker, some have dubbed the Clinton-Gore gang, we cannot listen to what they say, we must watch what they do.
