              CONGRATULATING THE HOUSE ON CORRECTIONS DAY

  (Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to take a minute to 
congratulate the House. Later on today we will pass the provision in 
the rules which creates Corrections Day. Later, after that, we will 
establish the bipartisan committee or task force which will be 
reviewing proposals for Corrections Day. Later, after that, we will 
establish the bipartisan committee or task force which will be 
reviewing proposals for Corrections Day.
  This is an idea which first developed earlier this year, and people 
said, ``Isn't there some way to correct the bureaucracy when it is 
doing things that make no sense?'' I think it is a sign of real 
progress that on a bipartisan basis we were able to work out both the 
arrangement to establish a procedure for Corrections Day and we were 
able to establish, with the minority leader, a proposal and a list of 
names so there will be genuine bipartisanship in pursuing this, I think 
it is an example of working together.
  We can get something good done for the American people, and we can 
cut some of the nonsense out of the Federal Government.
  So I commend the Committee on Rules for its diligence, and I commend 
the gentlewoman from Nevada [Mrs. Vucanovich] and the others who worked 
so hard to make this come true.
