                            KEEPING PROMISES

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Madam Speaker, approximately a year ago, the American 
people spoke loud and clear when they elected a Republican majority in 
Congress for the first time in 40 years. They wanted us to come to 
Washington and keep our promises to cut spending and reform the way 
Washington works. We have kept our promises.
  We have passed a balanced budget. We have passed real welfare reform. 
We have passed tax cuts for middle class families and small businesses, 
and we have downsized the huge Federal bureaucracy.
  Madam Speaker, the new Republican majority has kept our promises we 
made last year. We have delivered what the people want. Now it is time 
for President Clinton to keep his campaign promises, too.
