 THE POSITIVE RESULTS OF THE FIRST 50 DAYS OF THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, what has the Republican majority done in the 
past 50 days that the Democrats were not able to do in the past 40 
years?
  More votes, more hours, more hearings, more debate, more 
bipartisanship, more bills reported and real, positive change in the 
way business is done in Washington, DC.
  Republicans are on a roll and no matter how hard the Democrats have 
tried to support business as usual, we will continue working hard to 
change Congress in the next 50 days. We will keep 
[[Page H1974]] our promises with the American people through the 
Contract With America. And we will bring to the floor legislation that 
the people have demanded.
  Welfare reform, middle income tax cuts, Senior Citizens' Equity Act, 
legal reform, term limits, and regulatory reform. We will not stop 
until we have fulfilled our promise to change Congress and move toward 
a government that is smaller, more efficient and friendlier to the 
American people.
