THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA'S GROWING LIST OF SUCCESSES
(Mr. TATE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. TATE. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we honored yet another promise in
our Contract With America by passing a sweeping, comprehensive crime
control package once again, we worked hard to add one more piece of
legislation to the growing list of successes in the 104th Congress. And
through this hard work, Republicans are proving that real change is
achievable.
Now we move on to the next contract item--the National Security
Revitalization Act. This bill not only provides for a strong national
defense to protect America's freedoms, this bill limits the placement
of any U.S. troops under U.N. command. Through this bill, we will
pledge to our service men and women that their jobs and their lives are
important to us--they will not be put at risk under foreign commanders.
Mr. Speaker, I call on all my colleagues to support the National
Security Revitalization Act. Let's take an assertive step in the right
direction to provide our country its more basic need--defense.
