WE ARE KEEPING OUR PROMISE
(Mr. FOX of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FOX of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, we made a promise, we signed a
contract, and we kept our promise--it is as simple as that.
We just passed the National Security Revitalization Act, a component
of our Contract With America. In fact, in the past 44 days, we have
been keeping a lot of promises. Congressional reform, a congressional
accountability act, a balanced budget amendment, unfunded mandates
reform, and a strong crime package. We are working hard to produce real
change in Congress and America.
But our hard work does not stop here. After the President's Day
recess, we will be bringing to the floor legal reform, regulatory
reform, term limits, tax cuts for middle income families, a senior
citizens' equity bill, and welfare reform. We are on the road to
restoring the long-lost credibility and trust people have in their
elected officials.
The Republican majority is moving forward. We are making Government
smaller, less costly, and more accountable to the American people. I am
proud to be a part of this historic time.
