     REPUBLICANS DEDICATED TO PROMISES OF THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 

[[Page H 9511]]
  for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, it has been 1 year since hundreds of 
Republican House Members and candidates gathered on the steps of the 
Capitol and signed a Contract With America. Since then, the Republican 
Party has gone on to revolutionize American politics and to change 
business as usual inside the beltway.
  In the contract, we made specific promises to vote on specific pieces 
of legislation. We kept our word. We showed the American people that 
politicians can come to Washington and actually keep promises--
something they have not seen for many years.
  Mr. Speaker, Republicans are still dedicated to the promises we made 
in the contract. We will reduce the size and scope of the Federal 
Government. We will cut taxes for working families. We will reform 
welfare. We will balance the budget.
  In short, Mr. Speaker, we will continue to fight for the change that 
the American people demanded last November, and we will not rest until 
we have accomplished our goal.
