                            CHANGE HAS COME

  (Mr. FUNDERBURK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute, and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, it is the greatest honor of my life to 
be standing in the well of this great Chamber on behalf of the people 
of the Second District of North Carolina. From Durham and Rocky Mount 
to Lillington and Southern Pines, my constituents sent a clear message 
to Washington on November 8.
  They want the power and authority of the Federal Government returned 
to them and to the States.
  They want radical changes in the failed liberal programs of the past.
  But, most of all they want Washington out of their pockets and off 
their backs, as Ronald Reagan so eloquently put it.
  I am pleased to report that we are on our way. This new Congress 
marks the end of business as usual in the Nation's Capital. We have 
already begun to get the people's house in order beginning a new era of 
accountability. Next week we will get to work on tightening 
Government's belt with a balanced budget amendment, then we will reform 
welfare, cut taxes, and restore the morale of our military. We have 
changed the way Congress does business, now we will change the business 
Congress does. It is truly a new day in Washington and a new day for 
the people of eastern North Carolina.
