                     SUPPORT THE HILLEARY AMENDMENT

  (Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, in my home State of North Carolina, stock 
car racing is a huge event.
  In stock car racing the car driver has a pit crew. These are the guys 
who work on the engine, fill it up with gas, and keep the car running.
  When a driver pulls into the pits to have his crew work on the car, 
the crew only has a few seconds to do their job.
  They change the tires, fill it up, clean the windshield, and then 
they get out.
  Mr. Speaker, the American public elected us to be their pit crew.
  The 1994 elections attempted to put America back on the right track. 
Hard working Americans are driving this country, but they have chosen 
us to come up here, do a job and get out.
  I am a proud sponsor of House Joint Resolution 76, the Hilleary 
amendment which would impose a maximum 12-year limit on the terms of 
House and Senate Members.
  However, this amendment would also respect term limits already 
established by 22 States nationwide, most of which are stricter.
  Mr. Speaker, like many other freshman Republicans, I have also signed 
on to Mr. Inglis' 6-year term limit amendment on House Members.
  I have purposefully signed on to more than one amendment to help 
ensure that term limits pass this House.
  Mr. Speaker, let us put America back on the right track and pass term 
limits.
