                       CONGRESS NEEDS TERM LIMITS

  (Mr. WALKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, it is a true honor to be here today, and I 
am humbled to serve in Washington following the Honorable Howard Coble. 
Before ever arriving in these hallowed Halls, I made a promise to 
always put the people before the politics.
  Each day upon entering this most historic place, I am reminded that 
this House belongs to the people. This past November, these same 
individuals voiced their strong desire for change--real change--with 
fresh faces and new ideas.
  As part of my commitment, I have joined several of my colleagues in 
supporting term limits for Members of Congress. As Members, we must 
always stay connected with our constituents without falling prey to 
special interests.
  It is not always the most popular of choices, but I was sent to 
Washington to serve the people, and I believe that term limits are 
needed to ensure that we never lose sight of why we are here.
