On the recordFebruary 2, 1995
Yesterday ushered in just one more victory for the American people. We passed the unfunded mandates reform legislation by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 360 to 74. Once again, we have kept our promise with the people through our Republican Contract With America. Again, we fulfilled our promise with the State and local governments to lift the financial burden imposed on them by the Washington bureaucrats. We will continue to deliver change today as we begin debate on the line-item veto. This bill is yet another mechanism to reduce the size, scope, and cost of the Government. And more importantly, this bill is yet another step toward the completion of the Contract With America. We are working hard. We are keeping our promise. We are changing Government.
