On the recordMarch 13, 1995
Every day the Republicans come down on this floor and they tell us how they have kept their promises with the contract. Well, they did keep some. They kept their promise to adversely affect children, women, and seniors. They kept their promise to weaken environmental laws. They kept their promise to protect companies who produce products that harm women and children. Yes, they made lots of promises, but they made another promise. They promised to bring term limits to the floor. They promised that we could vote today on congressional term limits. But guess what? The leadership said they could not schedule that vote today. I ask my colleagues why. I suggest, perhaps because now they are elected, they really do not want to consider term limits.
