                    REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, our Contract With America states, on the 
first day of Congress, a Republican house will:
  Force Congress to live under the same laws as everyone else, cut one-
third of committee staff, and cut the congressional budget.
  We have done that.
  It goes on to state that in the first 100 days, we will vote on the 
following items: A balanced budget amendment--we have done this; 
unfunded mandates legislation; line-item veto; a new crime bill to stop 
violent criminals; welfare reform to encourage work, not dependence; 
family reinforcement to crack down on deadbeat dads and protect our 
children; tax cuts for families to lift government's burden from 
middle-income Americans; national security restoration to protect our 
freedoms; Senior Citizens; Equity Act to allow our seniors to work 
without Government penalty; Government regulation reforms; commonsense 
legal reform to end frivolous lawsuits; and congressional term limits 
to make Congress a citizen legislature.
  This is our Contract With America.
