                    REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Ms. DUNN of Washington asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DUNN of Washington. Mr. Speaker, our Contract With America states 
the following:
  On the first day of Congress, a Republican House will require 
Congress to live under the same laws as everyone else; cut committee 
staffs by one-third; and cut the congressional budget.
  We kept our promise.
  It continues that in the first 100 days, we will vote on the 
following items: A balanced budget amendment--we kept 
[[Page H2992]] our promise; unfunded mandates legislation--we kept our 
promise; line-item veto--we kept our promise; a new crime package to 
stop violent criminals--we kept our promise; national security 
restoration to our freedoms--we kept our promise; Government regulatory 
reform--we kept our promise; commonsense legal reform to end frivolous 
lawsuits--we are doing this now; welfare reform to increase school 
lunches for poor people, encourage work, not dependence; family 
reinforcement to crack down on deadbeat dads and protect our children; 
tax cuts for middle-income families, who have been too long ignored by 
the Democrats; Senior Citizens' Equity Act to allow our seniors to work 
without Government penalty; and congressional term limits to make 
Congress a citizen legislature.
  Mr. Speaker, this is our Contract With America.
