               KEEPING THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA ON TRACK

                                 ______


                            HON. RON PACKARD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 3, 1995
  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, the new Republican Congress continues to 
carry out its mandate with the American people. We are committed to 
keeping our Contract With America on track. The American people 
demanded a Congress that produces results. That's what our contract is 
about.
  We are committed to reducing the size, cost, and scope of Government. 
So far, we have kept our promise to balance the budget and reform 
unfunded mandates. Next, we will vote on passage of a line-item veto, a 
sharp tool to give the President to cut bloated, wasteful Government 
spending. It will fundamentally change the budget process--in favor of 
wise spending.
  Mr. Speaker, the Republican agenda for change continues. Gone are the 
days of empty rhetoric. The new Congress works for results, not empty 
promises. Mr. Speaker, I hope America is watching and checking off the 
items in our contract. We are working for them.
