“as Members know, the country voted in November for the Contract With America, and I carry with me on a regular basis a copy of the contract. And as we begin to get them completed, I try to have a hole punch here. No. 6 was strong national defense. We need to ensure a strong national defense by restoring the essential parts of our national security funding. I am delighted that by a bipartisan vote we in fact passed this today. This is the third part of the contract we have completed, and so I am going to symbolically put a hole in my laminated copy of the contract. We will be back next week to do another one.”
