                           PLEDGE TO AMERICA

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, when I first ran for public office in 1994, 
I said then that we have too much government. We still have too much 
government. In fact, we have way more government than we had then, and 
it is too much. But Republicans have been listening to the American 
people who agree with us that we have too much government, and we have 
made a Pledge to America to reduce the role of the Federal Government 
in our lives.
  We invite you to look at the Pledge to America that Republicans took 
last fall. We believe it has had a major impact on the election that 
was held in November. What we promise is that we are going to fulfill 
that pledge and reduce the role of the Federal Government in our lives 
and take our country back to what it was meant to be.
