WHITEWATERGATE
(Mr. LIVINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, following up the comments of the
preceding Member, I just have to say that there really are so many
questions that have arisen about Whitewatergate in the press and in
media commentaries throughout America over the last several weeks, it
is absolutely astounding. The very same Members of Congress, who were
aroused to outrage on behalf of the public good to demand an
investigation of the fabricated October Surprise while journalists from
liberal periodicals like Time magazine, the New Republic, and the
Village Voice totally debunked the story; those same people who
insisted that hearings were critically necessary despite the incredible
lack of evidence; those same people today say no hearings are
necessary.
It doesn't make sense.

It is mind-boggling, it is incredible, and it is just not
justifiable. We need to answer these questions, and we should do so
publicly in congressional investigation hearings.
