Gingrich pushes for another term ■ SPEAKER: Republicans have been assured by Gingrich that no more ethics violations will be disclosed By David Espo The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Shrugging off a fellow Republican’s call to surrender power, on Monday Newt Gingrich lobbied the House GOP rank-and-file in private for a new term as speaker despite ad mitted ethics violations. One lawmaker said Gingrich assured Republicans at a party caucus that there were no further embarrassing disclosures to come out in his case. Others said the Georgian accused Democrats of using the ethics committee for po litical mischief. “It’s not about Newt Gingrich,” Rep. Jim Ramstad of Minnesota quoted the speaker as saying. “It's about the ethics process being used to gain control to elect a De mocratic speak er.” Gingrich pre dicted before the closed-door ses sion that he would prevail when the 105th GINGRICH Congress con venes today, and thus become the first GOP speak er to win consecutive terms in 68 years. There was evidence to sup port that: Rep. Marge Roukema of New Jersey, publicly uncommit ted at mid-afternoon, said later through an aide that she would vote for the Georgian. But even before he stepped be fore fellow Republicans, a fresh sign of his political vulnerability appeared. In a written statement, 11-term Iowa Republican Jim Leach said Gingrich was “ethical ly damaged.’’ “For the country’s sake,” he said, Gingrich should step down and another GOP leader should be selected in his place. Leach and Rep. Michael Forbes of New York, another opponent, both spoke during the caucus, ac cording to one lawmaker who emerged while the session was still in progress. Rep. Tom Camp bell of California also announced his intention to deny Gingrich his vote, the lawmaker added. The political drama surround ing Gingrich has dominated the run-up to today’s opening of the 105th Congress. Election of a speaker is customarily a cut-and dried process, with the majority party ensuring that its candidate prevails. With Republicans holding a 227-207 majority with one inde pendent, though, Gingrich has relatively little margin for error. As a result, he has been struggling to hold wavering GOP lawmakers in line since his admission two weeks ago that he violated House rules.
