Political Quotes

On the recordApril 17, 1996
I want to thank Congressman Gutknecht and Congressman Tauzin for their leadership, not only in presenting the reforms that they have worked for, but in trying to forge a bipartisan agenda, one that is going to make this Congress continue to be pro-jobs, pro-reform, anti-tax, and one that relies more on the individual responsibility and relying on the fact that the Government does not run the country, the people do, and they do lend us that responsibility and that authority to act in their behalf. So while we want to see term limits, we want to make sure the time we are here is made valuable, because what we have done is made positive changes. That will always be our guiding thought. I thank you for letting us have this time period, Mr. Speaker, to have this dialogue. We will return again to give a further review in the future. We appreciate the input of our colleagues, from our constituents and the American people.
