                         CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, is it not amazing that the Democrats have 
spent the entire past week talking about the Republican contract with 
America. It seems they do not have any issues of their own to boast 
about, so the only thing they can do right now is to attack 
Republicans.
  President Clinton made his own verbal promises about what he would do 
in the first 100 days of his administration--why are the Democrats not 
talking about Clinton's promises? Because he broke his promises. There 
was no health care bill in 100 days--there was no middle class tax cut.
  On the other hand, Republicans have signed a contract with America. 
Republicans have listened to the people. Republicans are restoring the 
bond of trust between the people and their elected representatives.
  It is too bad the only thing the Democrats can do right now is lift 
their voices to try to cover up their own party's failures.
