Gephardt's Head Cheerleader
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> Is House Speaker Tom Foley offering more than just moral
support for a Dick Gephardt presidential run? Last week the
Missouri Congressman got a surprise boost from Foley, who said
he "would have no objection or concern about" the majority
leader retaining his House post while making a bid for the
presidency. This reduces the political gamble for Gephardt by
keeping his seat warm in case he loses the nomination.
Moreover, Foley's endorsement gives Gephardt an excuse to back
away from the pledge he made in 1989, when running for the
leadership post, that he would not seek the White House in
1992.
