                  ROSE FIRM SHREDS WHITEWATER RECORDS

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today the Washington Times 
headline reads ``Rose Firm Shreds Whitewater Records.'' Employee says 
paper details Clinton involvement.
  The bottom line is: What was the wrongdoing associated with the 
failed savings and loan that funded Whitewater and which ultimately 
cost the American taxpayer over $60 million?
  The administration is not cooperating; answers have not been 
forthcoming. From today's headlines, it looks as if documents with 
those answers have been destroyed.
  The time is about to run out on our ability to determine possible 
civil wrongdoing. As you can see from the calender, it runs out on the 
28th of February. The other body of Congress has been made aware, and I 
urge my colleagues in this body, the House, to act quickly; time is 
running out.
