                CAMPBELL WILL HELP LEAD THE WAY IN 1996

  (Mr. BAKER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAKER of California. Mr. Speaker, I say to the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Campbell], I liked the gentleman better under the 
labels they gave him in that last campaign, and I am going to speak for 
those conservatives who rallied around the gentleman to make sure that 
our victory was complete, that as the Republican Party, we are the 
party that allows debate and allows dissension.
  The gentleman from California [Mr. Campbell] and I are friends, and 
became friends, and we are going to stay friends as he meets his new 
conservative colleagues.
  Mr. Speaker, Thomas Wolfe said, ``You can't come home again,'' but 
they were wrong. Tom Campbell, you are home again. They tried all of 
the campaign themes of 1996, they tried the school lunch, they tried 
the Mediscare, and they tried to paint you what you are not, but you 
spell one thing to the Republican Party, Tom Campbell, and that is 
momentum. We are winning, and just as Ron Lewis and Frank Lucas said in 
1994, we are the special elections that lead the way.
  Tom Campbell, you are a leader in 1996. Congratulations on a 
tremendous victory.
