“today is a great day on the Potomac. This is the Contract With America, and even though a New York newspaper tells us only 38 percent of the people know what the Contract With America is, all of them know what a balanced-budget amendment is, all of them know what a real crime package is that punishes criminals instead of giving them dance lessons, all of them know what welfare reform is, and on down the line including the tax-relief package passed last night that restores hope to people with families, gives them a break, because we believe that people who have children know better how to spend that money on their children than the Federal Government does here in the beltway. So we are very pleased to be part of this Contract With America, to see all 10 pieces passed as promised. It will be the first Congress to say we are going to do something during a campaign and then actually do it when they get to Washington. I am very proud to restore hope to the next generation and to this generation, to be a part of this Congress and pass the Contract With America.”
