On the recordJanuary 26, 1995
let us stop the bickering. I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to reflect on what they have done to reform this Government. Have they come out in support of tax limitation and the balanced budget amendment? Have they fought to reform unfunded mandates? Have they embraced the Republican-led changes in the way that Congress has done business, or have they fought the reforms put forth? Have they tried to filibuster, delay, and destroy the Contract With America? Mr. Speaker, many Democrats have come the floor today and this past week for one reason, to stop needed reform in this Congress. They attack the Republicans on irrelevant issues. They complain about their procedures. They whine when we make necessary cuts. Mr. Speaker, the time has come to stop this silly bickering. Let us work together to complete this contract with the American people and restore the people's faith in this Congress.
