                  GOP HAS SUPERMAJORITY ON TERM LIMITS

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, make no bones about it, the fate of term 
limits rests squarely on the shoulders of the Democrats in Congress.
  More than 80 percent of Republican Members support and will vote for 
term limits.
  That's more than a majority. That is more than a supermajority. Why 
that might even be more than a superduper majority.
  All we need is the support of just one-half of the Democrats.
  Not even a majority, just 50 percent.
  No one can say that Republicans have not listened to the American 
people who overwhelmingly support term limits.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask just half my colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle to listen to the American people.
  To them I would say, stop the arrogance of Washington. Vote ``yes'' 
on term limits.
