The speaker commits to redirecting funds towards more effective defense measures and domestic security programs if elected to Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Julian%20P.%20Kanter%20Political%20Commercials%20Collection,%201942-2016/United%20States%20House%20of%20Representatives%20Offices%20Campaign%20Ads,%201963-2016/P-1014-40801_thumbnail.jpg "1988 - U.S. House of Representatives - Philip Norman (Phil) - Bredesen - \"Technological Mirage\"")
