I joined this revolution in full uniform and armor just a couple of months ago, but there were many conservative Democrats, as you know, that helped to make the contract a reality in this House, and in this House, and in this House in the first 100 days. One of the reasons I think that it was such a successful 100 days... to change the way this place works and to find solutions to American problems, rather than just to play party games all day. I have been delighted now to have the chance to work with the new Republican majority for the last several weeks since our August break, and I have been delighted with the temper, with the incredible energy and the organization that I see still burning bright within the party to get this revolution completed. Mr. Speaker, we have only just begun. If we cannot end this session with the real dedication of balancing the budget... then shame on us. We have such an opportunity this year.
