                          WATCHING AND WAITING

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, the votes have been tallied, the 
results are in and the message is clear: Voters across the country have 
rejected the extremist right-wing Republican agenda. In Kentucky, 
Maine, Mississippi, Virginia, and New Jersey, Democrats were 
victorious.
  The voters said no to the Republican cuts in Medicare. They said no 
to Republican tax breaks for the rich. They said no to Republican 
assaults on our environment. And they said no to Republican cuts in 
student loans and education.
  Mr. Speaker, heed the message of the 1995 elections. America is 
watching and waiting, waiting for 1996. Waiting to stop Republican 
attacks on the elderly, the poor, students, and working-class 
Americans; 1995 is a prelude.
