              CONGRATULATIONS ON THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, during the last 3 weeks, I held 11 town 
meetings, 3 senior citizen conferences, and a very successful 
agriculture conference. I always ask those in attendance to tell me 
what they were hearing about the new 104th Congress.
  Here is one letter I received last week:

       Dear Andrea: You asked the question, ``What are you 
     hearing?''
       Our son said, ``The Republicans have a chance to do 
     something, but they will probably drop the ball.'' A 17-year-
     old cynic. Now he says, ``They did it. The Republicans did 
     it.''
       My cousin in Santa Barbara said her husband is so excited 
     she was not able to tear him away from the TV coverage for 
     the first 100 days.
       In general, people say, ``We can depend on the freshmen in 
     the Congress to stand together and do what they said they 
     could do.'' Congratulations on the Contract With America. 
     Thank you for your very hard work.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Mary Kay Dana.
       Nipomo, CA.
