                    ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday, the American people 
were presented with something they've never seen before--over 300 
Members and candidates gathered on the Capitol steps to sign a contract 
with the voters--Republicans signed a contract for real change and real 
reform in Congress.
  Over 180 Republican candidates came to Washington with a message from 
the people of our country, who helped develop a platform of solid 
legislative issues that will bring hope to the people, hope for the 
future, and hope for bringing back the integrity of Congress.
  The Republicans signed their names to this contract because a 
campaign promise is one thing--we have all heard enough of them--but a 
signed contract is another. A signed contract means change will happen. 
A signed contract means we will perform. A signed contract will restore 
the bonds of trust between the people and their elected 
representatives.
