                              TERM LIMITS

  (Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise as a strong 
supporter of congressional term limits who has promised to voluntarily 
limit his own tenure, and I rise to congratulate those Members of the 
other party who have gone against their leadership and have joined us 
in support of term limits.
  Unfortunately, it is obvious that there is one party in the House 
that is sympathetic to term limits and one party that is violently 
opposed to term limits.
  I urge my Democratic colleagues to vote in favor of term limits to 
give us the votes to pass the amendment. Over 70 percent of Americans 
are in favor of term limits, and if we are truly a representative 
institution I believe our voting should reflect that.
  This is your chance to prove that you are responsive to the public 
and to the national interest, and not just part of inside the 
Washington Beltway.
