“let me say I just wanted to remind our Members, because we were so busy yesterday and it may not have been obvious, how much we got done in 1 day. In 1 day this House sent to the President a landmark freedom-to-farm bill which revises 60 years and provides reform for a 60-year-old program. We sent to the President a historic line-item veto bill which Presidents, beginning with Grant in the 1860's, requested from the Congress, and for the first time we passed it to send to the President. We sent to the President an earnings limit increase for senior citizens so they could work without being punished by the Social Security Administration taking money away from them, something which every senior citizens' group has supported and which encourages people to stay active and be healthy. We sent to the President real regulatory relief to help small businesses create jobs, helping the economy and reducing the amount of unnecessary redtape in this society.”
