On the recordJanuary 25, 1995
My concern is that of course in November, the American people took dramatic action and they allowed the Republicans to take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

If the gentleman from Pennsylvania would comment on an overriding concern I have that watching this body for so many years that the naysayers, the doomsayers often tend to win the day when something as dramatic as balancing the Federal budget with a tax limitation is brought to the floor.
