       THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF BILL CLINTON AND THE 103D CONGRESS

  (Mr. HAMBURG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAMBURG. Mr. Speaker, to hear all the criticisms, you would think 
the Clinton administration and the 103d Congress were in free-fall.
  In truth, our accomplishments have been significant and are slowly 
but surely changing America for the better.
  The economy has improved, workers are better protected, our streets 
are becoming safer, our environment is getting more careful attention, 
the right of women to reproductive choice is supported, our children 
are being immunized, and better fed, housed, and educated.
  It is tough to turn around a ship of state that has drifted 
rudderless for more than a decade. Bill Clinton and the 103d Congress, 
led by the majority Democratic Party, has begun this arduous and 
sometimes painful task.
  There is yet much to achieve before adjournment in the fall--health 
care reform, welfare reform, critical environmental legislation and 
other challenges lie ahead.
  But we will continue to ignore the naysayers and move forward. I ask 
the good-hearted, clear-thinking people of the country to join us.
