                 LET THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR DO HIS JOB

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks and include extraneous 
matter.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, the Republican call for congressional 
hearings into Whitewater is nothing but partisan politics.
  The fact is, a special prosecutor is already looking into Whitewater.
  He himself is a Republican.
  In a letter to the Senate Banking Committee 2 days ago he said, and I 
quote:

       Inquiry into the * * * events * * * surrounding Whitewater 
     by a Congressional Committee would pose a severe risk to the 
     integrity of our investigation * * *
       We request that your Committee not conduct any hearings in 
     the areas covered by the grand jury's ongoing investigation * 
     * * to preserve the fairness, thoroughness, and 
     confidentiality of the grand jury process.

  Mr. Speaker, that is what the special prosecutor said. And he is a 
Republican.
  And I think it is time to stop playing partisan politics, get back to 
governing, and let the special prosecutor do his job.
