	     THE PRESIDENT:  For a long time now, the American people 
have wondered whether their government in Washington could ever 
really work for them again, ever really face the tough problems.  
	     
	     Well, tonight the House of Representatives gave America 
a victory of growth over gridlock.  Tonight, the House showed courage 
and conviction.  Tonight, the House made hard choices.  To cut a 
quarter of a billion dollars in spending.  To ask those most able to 
pay -- the wealthy -- to do more to reduce our deficit.  To increase 
incentives to invest and create jobs in the private sector.  And to 
provide the incentives to make people at the bottom rungs of the 
economy prefer work over welfare.
	     
	     Tonight, the House said "no" to gridlock, "no" to the 
status quo, and "no" to the special interests who worked so very hard 
to frighten millions of Americans about this program.  Tonight, the 
House said "yes" to jobs, "yes" to lowering the deficit, "yes" to 
lower interest rates, "yes" to a brighter future.  (Applause.) 
	     
	     Tomorrow, we go on to the Senate and we go back to the 
country.  We have broken the gridlock.  We are taking responsibility 
for the future.  We are dealing with the tough problems.  I am very, 
very proud of the people who tonight cast a very tough vote in a hard 
environment for a better tomorrow for America.
	     
	     Thank you very much.  (Applause.)
