   DEMOCRAT NAYSAYERS CHALLENGED ON REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (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, for the past week, President Clinton and 
the Democrat leadership have attacked the House Republican Contract 
with America that Republican Members of Congress and challengers have 
signed.
  I have a challenge for these negative naysayers: Tell the American 
people specifically which part of the Republican contract you don't 
want to vote on.
  Is it the term limits on professional politicians the Democrats don't 
like? Do they not support the tax cut for middle-class American 
families? Maybe the Democrats don't like requiring that all American 
combat troops stay under American command instead of U.N. command. Most 
Americans already know its the Bill Clinton Democrats who are opposing 
our balanced budget amendment, line item veto and plan to cut the huge 
number of congressional committees and staffs.
  All of these commonsense ideas and more are in our contract. And all 
are supported by a majority of the American people.
