                            AN OPEN PROCESS

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, the American people have learned one thing 
about the Clinton administration: You have to verify every thing the 
White House says, because it is not always the whole truth.
  We learned from the President's first budget that his rhetoric aside, 
he was still a tax-and-spend liberal.
  We learned from his health care plan that there was a whole lot more 
Government than the public was ready to accept, despite the President's 
pronouncements.
  And we now are learning that when it comes to Whitewater, the 
legislative branch should have a role in deciding if there were any 
improprieties.
  An open process is not a luxury with the Clinton administration. It 
is a necessity. That is why, Mr. Speaker, we need to have hearings on 
the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The Congress should probe into 
the details of the Whitewater Co.
  If the American people have learned one thing about the Clinton White 
House, it is this: We need to see for ourselves what the story really 
is.
