          WELCOMING THE PRESIDENT TO THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. WELDON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, in his campaign for the White 
House, President Clinton said that he favored tax relief for the middle 
class. Well, Republicans in the new Congress agree that the Federal 
Government taxes and spends too much and that taxpayers should have 
their tax burden reduced.
  Through his Reinventing Government, President Clinton also supports 
efforts to reduce the size of Government. Republicans in the new 
Congress will work with the President to achieve a smaller, efficient 
Government.
  You see, Mr. Speaker, there really are areas of agreement. In our 
Contract With America, Republicans have promised to accomplish many of 
the things that the President says should be done. But there is one 
slight difference: Instead of just talking about these things, 
Republicans have and will continue to deliver on our promises. And, we 
welcome the President to our agenda of lower taxes and less government.
