                    RESURRECTION OF VOODOO ECONOMICS

  (Mr. VISCLOSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, this week Republican congressional 
leaders summoned their candidates to Washington to sign a contract to 
raise voodoo economics from the dead.
  Instead of moving forward the Republican contract will turn the clock 
back to the days of tax cuts for the rich, outrageous star wars defense 
spending, and exploding deficits.
  The numbers on the Republican have been crunched. The Republican plan 
will blow a $1 trillion hole in the budget and ask people on Social 
Security and Medicare to pick up the tab.
  It is clear that the Republican contract will mortgage our future and 
threaten the middle class.
  What is not clear is just who signed the contract. We know what it 
says. We know what it will do. But we do not know who signed it.
  As long as the Republican leadership wants to take us back to the 
past the American people have a right to know the names of everyone who 
wants to take them for a ride.
  I ask the Republican leader to release the names. We are waiting.
