On the recordFebruary 7, 1995
last month a very important event occurred. We passed a bill giving the President line-item veto authority. We hope this will also pass the Senate and be signed into law. What is remarkable to me is the pace of what we have been doing in this Congress during the past month and the accomplishments we have made. And those of you who know me well know I am not this sort of person who brags. In fact, I was born in Minnesota, just like Garrison Keillor, I am somewhat shy and humble. As Garrison Keillor does occasionally, I have to talk about what we do. We are often criticized as being a do-nothing Congress. I would like to announce we now have a do-something Congress, and I have the figures to prove it, and in the words of the gentleman from Ohio, a can-do Congress. If you look at what this Congress has accomplished in the first month compared to Congresses of the past dozen years, it is striking.
