On the recordFebruary 2, 1995
I thought you might be interested in some voting statistics from the first month of the 104th Congress. In the month of January, we had 79 rollcall votes. Compare that to last January, when we only had 2 rollcall votes, and in January 1992 when we only had 11 rollcall votes. What do these statistics mean? They show that the Republican majority is serious about getting down to work and passing our Contract With America. We are committed to working hard to keep our promise with the American people. Congressional accountability, balanced budget amendment, unfunded mandates reform--all done. Next up is line-item veto, crime bill, welfare reform, national defense bill, middle-class tax cuts, term limits. We won't stop until we're through. If the people want to know if the Republicans are delivering, just look at what we have accomplished in 1 month.
