    URGING THE PRESIDENT TO HELP IMPLEMENT REFORMS CONTAINED IN THE 
                         CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mrs. WALDHOLTZ asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALDHOLTZ. Mr. Speaker, Republicans in this Chamber have vowed 
to keep faith with the American people. The Contract With America lays 
our specific guidelines to reform the way the Federal Government 
conducts its business.
  By ending unfunded mandates, our Government will stop the process 
whereby the Federal Government simply dictates policy to the States, 
whatever the cost. And, by passing the balanced budget amendment, the 
Federal Government will be forced to live within its means, a 
responsibility that American families accept everyday.
  Mr. Speaker, Americans have overwhelmingly endorsed this reform 
agenda. We urge the President to help implement this agenda to restore 
to the Federal Government the basic values of accountability, 
responsibility, and individual liberty.
