I think it is very remarkable that here, Tom, you are from Iowa, Brian, you are from California, I am from Georgia. We represent three different parts of the country, East to West and in the middle. I think it is very interesting that all three of us have heard the same concerns from our constituents over the last 3 weeks. Basically they are the same things that we all campaigned on last summer and that are contained within the Contract With America. It is exciting to me to see the people all over the country as excited about politics and about what is going on in Washington as they are. Obviously we all shared the same experiences concerning these issues. I think that is very interesting, and again goes to reinforce that the American people did speak on November 8, that the American people want changes, and even though they may not agree with every single thing we are doing in Washington right now, they understand we are doing something. I heard that again time after time: 'We may not agree with everything you're doing, but by golly, you guys are doing something, you're making progress, and just keep at it.' That probably was the most constant theme I had the whole time I was home.
