On the recordMay 14, 1997
the vote is in and the people have spoken in New Mexico's Third Congressional District, and they are sending another Republican to Congress. I would like to congratulate the gentleman from Los Alamos, NM, Bill Redmond, for winning New Mexico's special election held yesterday in northern New Mexico. Mr. Redmond will be an excellent Member of the House of Representatives and will support many of the principles our majority party stands for: lower taxes, a balanced Federal budget, a strong national defense, family values and a get-tough attitude on crime. Mr. Redmond won his election by being honest with the people about his views and concerns on the important issues facing New Mexicans and all Americans. Bill Redmond, we look forward to working with you throughout the remainder of the 105th Congress. Congratulations and thanks to all of the Republicans that helped make this come about.
