                           STOP THE BICKERING

  (Mr. CREMEANS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CREMEANS. Mr. Speaker, let us stop the bickering.
  I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to reflect on 
what they have done to reform this Government. Have they come out in 
support of tax limitation and the balanced budget amendment? Have they 
fought to reform unfunded mandates? Have they embraced the Republican-
led changes in the way that Congress has done business, or have they 
fought the reforms put forth? Have they tried to filibuster, delay, and 
destroy the Contract With America?
  Mr. Speaker, many Democrats have come the floor today and this past 
week for one reason, to stop needed reform in this Congress. They 
attack the Republicans on irrelevant issues. They complain about their 
procedures. They whine when we make necessary cuts.
  Mr. Speaker, the time has come to stop this silly bickering. Let us 
work together to complete this contract with the American people and 
restore the people's faith in this Congress.
