                            THE ``KO'' IN OK

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, yesterday two challengers stepped 
into the ring in Oklahoma's sixth congressional district where 
Republican Frank Lucas took on Democrat Dan Webber.
  It should not have really been a fight considering the odds against 
the Republican.
  The Democrat was a former aide of Senator Boren, the district has a 
2-1 Democrat registration advantage, and had not elected a Republican 
to Congress in 20 years.
  However, in this David versus Goliath rematch, David won once again.
  By throwing the right combination of less spending, less taxes, and 
less government, Republican Lucas delivered a ``KO'' in OK.
  Of course what happened to the big government Goliath is not entirely 
his fault. You see he had President Clinton in his corner.
  While the Democrat tried to run from the Clinton administration, 
Oklahoma voters merely proved the old boxing adage that ``you can run 
but you cannot hide.''
