   DISCHARGE PETITION NO. 25: FEDERALLY UNFUNDED MANDATE ACT OF 1994

  (Mr. CONDIT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONDIT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to simply notify the Members of 
the House that I have filed a discharge petition, Discharge Petition 
No. 25. That is the release of H.R. 140.
  Now, H.R. 140 is simple, it is the Federally Unfunded Mandate Act of 
1994, simply says that the Federal Government must stop putting 
mandates on States and local governments. It is the bill that says no 
money, no mandate.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage the Members of this House to come down today 
and join with me in signing Discharge Petition No. 25 for H.R. 140. It 
is an attempt, it is our opportunity to get this Government to start 
talking in a serious way about a comprehensive proposal to stop 
federally unfunded mandates.
  So I would encourage my colleagues to join me today and sign the 
petition; remember, it is Petition 25.
