On the recordSeptember 27, 1996
2 years ago I signed the Contract With America. I am as proud of that decision today as I was then. I have been blessed and honored to have been part of history; to be part of a movement dedicated to a brighter and a more hope-filled future for America. Our friends on the other side like to say we are running from the contract. I say horse feathers. The Contract With America has changed the political landscape right here in Washington, DC. The days of tax and spend are history. No longer will Congress levy taxes on the people of this great country for inefficient and burdensome bureaucracy. Mr. Speaker, 65 percent of the contract is now signed into law. We have changed Congress, we have cut spending and ended welfare, and most importantly, we have kept our promises.
