we made a promise, we signed a contract, and we kept our promise--it is as simple as that. We just passed the National Security Revitalization Act, a component of our Contract With America. In fact, in the past 44 days, we have been keeping a lot of promises. Congressional reform, a congressional accountability act, a balanced budget amendment, unfunded mandates reform, and a strong crime package. We are working hard to produce real change in Congress and America. But our hard work does not stop here. After the President's Day recess, we will be bringing to the floor legal reform, regulatory reform, term limits, tax cuts for middle income families, a senior citizens' equity bill, and welfare reform. We are on the road to restoring the long-lost credibility and trust people have in their elected officials. The Republican majority is moving forward. We are making Government smaller, less costly, and more accountable to the American people. I am proud to be a part of this historic time.
