“yesterday we honored yet another promise in our Contract With America by passing a sweeping, comprehensive crime control package once again, we worked hard to add one more piece of legislation to the growing list of successes in the 104th Congress. And through this hard work, Republicans are proving that real change is achievable. Now we move on to the next contract item--the National Security Revitalization Act. This bill not only provides for a strong national defense to protect America's freedoms, this bill limits the placement of any U.S. troops under U.N. command. Through this bill, we will pledge to our service men and women that their jobs and their lives are important to us--they will not be put at risk under foreign commanders. Mr. Speaker, I call on all my colleagues to support the National Security Revitalization Act. Let's take an assertive step in the right direction to provide our country its more basic need--defense.”
