     LEAVING ISSUES OF THE 103D AND MOVING ON TO THE 104TH CONGRESS

  (Ms. NORTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my Republican 
colleagues. It took you 40 years but when you did it, you really did 
it.
  The best way to show that this is a new day is to move forward on a 
new agenda--yours, yes, and ours. Unraveling issues settled in the 103d 
Congress is the way back to the future--and to gridlock. Contentious 
matters like the crime bill come to mind. Some of our Members came to 
your side and some of yours to ours. Putting Members through the 
prevention/punishment meat grinder again will be punishment for all 
concerned. and flashbacks to the quarrels of the 103d Congress will 
yield a loud national moan.
  It's your game now. You will play it your way with your very own 
contract. But please, colleagues, forward passes, not dashes away from 
the goal post.
