              SUPPORT URGED FOR TOTAL CONGRESSIONAL REFORM

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we took a major 
first step down the road toward congressional reform. Bringing Congress 
under the laws that we pass for the rest of Americans, reforming our 
travel, and having us receive the same health benefits are measures of 
which we should all be proud. And they are also long overdue.
  We now need to rid ourselves of the perks and privileges that still 
separate us from our constituents. We need to reform our pensions, do 
away with airport parking, and stop proxying voting, among other 
things.
  My bill, H.R. 4444, completes the job that H.R. 4822 started. We need 
total congressional reform, Mr. Speaker, we need H.R. 4444, the one 
stop shop for congressional reform.
