         REPUBLICANS AND THEIR PROMISE OF A VOTE ON TERM LIMITS

  (Ms. FURSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FURSE. Mr. Speaker, every day the Republicans come down on this 
floor and they tell us how they have kept their promises with the 
contract.
  Well, they did keep some. They kept their promise to adversely affect 
children, women, and seniors. They kept their promise to weaken 
environmental laws. They kept their promise to protect companies who 
produce products that harm women and children.
  Yes, they made lots of promises, but they made another promise. They 
promised to bring term limits to the floor. They promised that we could 
vote today on congressional term limits.
  [[Page H3053]] But guess what? The leadership said they could not 
schedule that vote today. I ask my colleagues why.
  I suggest, perhaps because now they are elected, they really do not 
want to consider term limits.
