                          LIBERALS ARE WORRIED

  (Mr. YOUNG of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from 
Texas [Mr. Smith].
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the liberal Democrat establishment 
in Washington is worried. Judging from their reaction to the idea of a 
contract with America it is clear they are afraid--if the American 
people are given a pledge that is kept, it will ruin their chances of 
every making empty promises again.
  Everyone should be aware that the same people who are upset with the 
contract with America are the same people who promised to deliver 
health care in 100 days--2 years ago; the same people who promised a 
middle class tax cut and raised everyone's taxes instead; the same 
people who promised to end politics as usual and instead have given us 
a scandal a week.
  Every part of the Republicans' contract with America is supported by 
the American people. That's what Democrats are worried about.
