   THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE NATIONAL AGENDA OF THE REPUBLICAN 
                               LEADERSHIP

  (Mr. DERRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, this Tuesday Republican candidates will 
stand on the House steps to pledge their allegiance to the national 
agenda of Newt Gingrich and the Republican leadership.
  Instead of coming to Washington with a message from the voters, they 
will be going to their districts with a message from the Washington 
moguls they have submitted to.
  When they sign the contract with Gingrich they will be signing a 
deposit slip for their campaign funds, because their contract gives tax 
breaks to the wealthy, and reaps campaign contributions as a reward. It 
is a contract with Republican Party bosses and the money behind them.
  Republican hopefuls swearing Gingrich's pledge will ally themselves 
with the Republican leadership's lust for power and the big-money 
interests that wants them to have it. Never mind the folks back home. 
It is the Republican Party machine that counts.
