On the recordAugust 1, 1996
when Republicans took over the Congress, we proved to the Washington liberal establishment that politicians can come here and keep their word. We proved that we could make a difference in the lives of the American people. The events of this week are proof that this Congress has been one of the most productive in a generation. Yesterday, Bill Clinton said that he would sign our commonsense welfare reform bill that we will send him later this week. It is a good bill. It is genuine reform of the broken welfare system. Today, the House will consider the conference report on health care reform. This bill will give health care security to working Americans. It establishes medical savings accounts, which I have had for 3 years, fights fraud and abuse, and ends job lock. Mr. Speaker, this Congress is making a difference. We are providing the commonsense changes that the American people have demanded for years.
