                           AGENDA FOR CHANGE

                                 ______


                            HON. RON PACKARD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 22, 1995
  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, today marks day 50 of our Republican 
Contract With America. The Republican-controlled House has accomplished 
more in 50 days than any Democrat-controlled Congress ever did. 
Republicans continue to prove that hard work produces real results.
  On the very first day, the 104th Congress passed congressional 
reforms to change business as usual in Washington and took steps to 
down-size big government. In the following weeks, Congress provided the 
much-needed tools for making Government smaller, less costly, and less 
intrusive. We passed a balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto, 
and unfunded mandate reforms. Most recently, the House supported crime 
and national defense measures to guarantee security at home and to 
protect our national interests abroad.
  In the next 50 days, House Republicans will continue to work hard, 
make change, and keep their promises. Although the House has already 
passed a full political agenda, there is still more to consider. We 
will work to roll back overzealous Government regulation, reform a 
backlogged legal system, to promote personal responsibility, and to 
restore fairness in our Tax Code.
  Mr. Speaker, America voted for change last November. This Republican-
controlled Congress is committed to working for the results the people 
want. The Republican agenda for change moves forward.
