On the recordApril 6, 1995
last September 27, Republican incumbents and candidates stood on the Capitol steps and made a pledge to the American people. We promised to bring to the floor legislation that had been blocked by the Democrat-controlled Congress for years. Congressional reform, welfare reform, tax breaks, term limits, regulatory reform, legal reform. Mr. Speaker, I stand here today to say that we kept our promise. A new day has dawned in America. We have proved to the people that politicians can keep a promise. The Republican majority is working hard to recapture the long-lost trust the American people used to have in their elected officials. And I am proud to be a part of this healing process. Mr. Speaker, it is as simple as this--promises made, promises kept. This is what the Republicans are all about.
