I'm glad to see someone that is so knowledgeable on the Contract.
Which of these were passed on the first day?
Of the ones that were passed, which ones are being effective now, and were when they were implemented.On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:
- FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;
- SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
- THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
- FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;
- FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
- SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;
- SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
- EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.
Thanks.

Your questions and silly innuendo are bizarre and ignorant.
I gave you the numbers.
Do the followup research yourself.
Google this: “Contract with America”.
Then read.
