I want to point out first of all that today we took a very important step on the road to recovering the confidence of the American people that began with the election last November. That is because what we did today is we passed a bill that will examine unfunded mandates to the States... we have been following this road map that was laid out in the Contract With America for getting more done, more quickly than even we could have imagined, and best of all this is the work that the people of America want us to do. Let me give a fact on that, because a poll was released this past Monday by the Washington Post and ABC News which contains extremely good news for this House and good news for the American people. In only 3 months public confidence in Congress has actually doubled. That is the largest increase of its kind since the 20-year history of the poll that has been taken.
