                     PRAISE FOR THE 104TH CONGRESS

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. JONES. Madam Speaker, each weekend, when I am back in my 
district, I am always pleasantly amazed at the positive comments people 
share with me concerning Congress. The voters are pleased that we are 
finally acting on our promises and passing commonsense laws. This past 
weekend, I spoke with many people who praised the numerous 
accomplishments of the 104th Congress.
  People's opinions of Congress are changing. We are making history 
each and every day by returning integrity and honesty to the people's 
Chamber. It is really no surprise that Congress approval rating has 
improved from 18 to 43 percent.
  Madam Speaker, we are at the halfway point of the contract and we 
will continue to work hard and make the necessary changes to get this 
Government back on track.
  This week, we will curtail and streamline the excessive regulations 
this Government imposes on everyday Americans. We will return the 
Government back to its rightful owners, the American citizens.
