         VOTERS OF OKLAHOMA LISTENING TO THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Madam Speaker, yesterday the people in the Sixth District 
of Oklahoma elected a Republican to represent them in Congress in a 
district that has a heavy Democrat registration. I wonder if the 
Democratic leadership in this House has any idea what the issues were 
in that race. Well, let me tell my colleagues:
  The Democrat ran from the Clinton record, but not fast enough. The 
Republican ran toward his party's message of less taxes, less spending, 
and less government. The Republican signed the taxpayer protection 
pledge. The Democrat equivocated. The Republican came out against 
higher health care taxes. The Democrat equivocated.
  Madam Speaker, the American people listened in Oklahoma. They 
listened, and they demanded better and wiser, and they chose the 
Republican.
