                    ACT NOW ON CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, last night President Clinton gave a great 
marching speech. Left-right, left-right, left-right. At times he was 
Reagan, at times he was Dukakis. But in the end it was the same old 
stuff, the White House weather vane rides again. In the final analysis 
of his 1\1/2\ hour vague, meandering, heartwarming tales of innuendo, 
insinuations and soft truths, we were led to nowhere.
  In contrast, New Jersey Governor Christine Wittman said ``Actions 
will always speak louder than words.''
  Let us today start with actions by passing the balanced budget 
amendment, go on to prohibit unfunded mandates, follow it up with the 
line-item veto, and the rest of the elements of the Contract With 
America, which is what the American people wanted and how they spoke 
November 8.
