                   REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege and honor for me to 
once again welcome clearly one of the most brilliant, capable, and 
principled individuals who has ever served in the U.S. Congress. I 
believe that as we look at the outcome of this very historic election, 
which saw Tom Campbell win by a 23-point margin, it demonstrated the 
fact that we have the people on our side when it comes to our goal of 
balancing the Federal budget and ensuring that we are not going to pass 
on to future generations the responsibility of paying for Washington's 
profligate spending pattern which has gone on for over four decades.
  It seems to me, Mr. Speaker, that as we welcome Tom Campbell, we 
should underscore the fact that his commitment to a balanced budget was 
key to his victory; and it is a great privilege for me, as the dean of 
our delegation Mr. Moorhead did, to underscore the fact that we now for 
the first time in many, many, many decades, have a Republican majority 
from the State of California.
