                          KEEPING THE PROMISE

  (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, last week we brought to the floor and 
passed the balanced budget amendment. In doing so, we kept our promise 
with the American people throughout our Contract With America. We took 
that giant first step and passed what the American people have been 
demanding for years--for Congress to get its financial affairs in 
order.
  I am proud to be a part of the bipartisan team that pulled together 
to pass the balanced budget amendment. And I look forward to continuing 
in this bipartisan fashion to pass the rest of the Republican's 
Contract With America.
  This week we will be voting on the unfunded mandates bill. Through 
this bill, we are going to stop putting intolerable burdens on State 
and local governments and the private sector. I hope all my colleagues 
will join me in supporting this legislation and keeping the promise 
with the people.
