                   REVOLUTION SWEEPING ACROSS AMERICA
  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, it certainly is an honor to be here 
this morning, and it was an honor to be back in my district during the 
break and see the excitement that people had 
[[Page H4449]] about where this country was going, where their 
government was going. And to follow up on what a few speakers have said 
before me, we are not antigovernment.
  This revolution that is sweeping across Washington is not an 
antigovernment revolution. When Thomas Jefferson said that the 
government that governs least governs best, he was not saying that 
being antigovernment. He was saying it being pro-freedom, and that is 
what this has been about. That is what this 100 days has been about. 
And this is what we are going to do with the next 100 days and the next 
2 years; we are going to restore the American dream and, yes, we must 
pay tribute to the Federal employees that not only lost their lives but 
also those that went out and sacrificed and worked throughout this 
tragedy.
  But it is our purpose and our function and our goal to free all 
Americans from an overbearing centralized bureaucracy, so Federal 
employees and all citizens can enjoy the American dream and can look 
back to Thomas Jefferson's statement that the government that governs 
least governs best as a statement that does not decry Federal 
Government but praises freedom in America. That is what the American 
dream is about and that is what we are going to be doing the next 100 
days, continuing to revive the American dream.
