  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania, Mr. Robert A. Brady, be permitted to take the oath 
of office today. His certificate of election has not arrived, but there 
is no contest, and no question has been raised with regard to his 
election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the gentleman from Missouri?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. The Chair requests the newly elected Member and the 
Pennsylvania delegation to come to the well.
  Mr. Brady of Pennsylvania appeared at the bar of the House and took 
the oath of office, as follows:
  Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the 
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; 
that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or 
purpose of evasion; and that you will well and faithfully discharge the 
duties of the office in which you are about to enter. So help you God.
  The SPEAKER. Congratulations. You are a Member of the United States 
House of Representatives.
