                 WHAT THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA OFFERS

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, during nearly all of my lifetime, the 
Democrat Party has completely dominated the House of Representatives--
that is 40 consecutive years of one-party rule. And in recent years it 
has been American families and businesses who have paid the price for 
the Democrats' tax increases, ethical scandals, budget deficits, and 
tired old government-knows-best nannyism.
  However, simply opposing the President and the Democrats in Congress 
is not enough. So this week, over 350 Republican congressional 
candidates have signed a solemn contract with America that lays out in 
detail our vision for America and the specific steps we are going to 
take to make our Nation an even better place to live, work, and to 
raise our families.
  Mr. Speaker, all Americans should take a look at what our contract 
offers.
