                              TERM LIMITS

  (Mr. SANFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  [[Page H1077]] Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you and the 
rest of this body to ask for term limits in general, and to ask 
specifically that this body push for the English-Dornan-Sanford 
amendment particularly.
  If we look at term limits, they are building blocks toward getting a 
citizen-filled legislature that this country so desperately needs. One 
of the reasons I think we need them so desperately is because, as I 
take this $20 bill out, I ask what is it each of us works for. Each of 
us works to put bread on the table.
  If we view politics as our career, if we view politics as a way to 
put bread on the table, we often are making decisions that are the 
opposite of what the American public would like us to.
  So I ask again that we push for term limits in a general way and the 
English-Dornan-Sanford amendment, which is a three-term cap for Members 
in the House.
