On the recordFebruary 10, 1995
there is a new-found respect for Congress in the country. Republicans have only been in charge for 1 month, and the approval rating for Congress has already doubled. The reason is obvious. Under Republican leadership we are working hard to keep our promises to bring big change to America. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the crime package we are now debating. We are making tremendous progress in ensuring that the criminal justice system will be more concerned with the rights of victims and society than the rights of criminals. And who will benefit most from our rough crime package? The middle and lower income classes, who live with violent crime every day. They know what we need to do: catch, convict, and confine violent criminals. That is what our crime package is all about. And that is why we will continue working hard to see that it is enacted.
