              THE PEOPLE'S INTEREST, NOT SPECIAL INTERESTS

  (Mr. WARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, I hope every American reads yesterday's 
Washington Post article on the Republican's real approach to campaign 
reform. This is sleight of hand and sleight of tongue, taken to its 
highest level.
  While talking like the revolutionary, good government leader, 
Gingrich has engineered the most aggressive quid pro quo ever seen in 
this city. We have seen lobbyists actually writing legislation and hear 
tell of the Republican list that determines which special interests get 
taken care of.
  I challenge all freshmen Members, Democrats and Republicans, to join 
together and demand real reform now. None of us came here to be a part 
of a government that is for sale. The Republican majority has taken 
deception to a new high and government integrity to a new low. Mr. 
Speaker, this House should be more concerned with the people's interest 
than the special interest.
