On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
My hat is absolutely off to every senior Republican Member in this Congress. I am amazed; I mean it, I know what it was like the last 2 years. Never having been in a legislative body before, I know what it is like just getting beat up every day and losing and feeling, frankly, not very proud of that work that is being done in this body, and the difference to have something that we feel we ourselves can feel proud of, of what we are doing, and we hope, we hope to goodness that the American people feel proud of what we are doing. My indications from what I understand and from my constituents, and if you look at this poll, doubling the approval rating of Congress, I mean, where they are feeling confidence once more.
