         IT IS TIME FOR CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE WHITEWATERGATE

  (Mr. HORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, it looks like we are beginning to have a real 
problem here.
  For months, we have been reading stories surrounding the strange saga 
of a failed savings and loan in Arkansas.
  We have been prepared with reports alleging financial shenanigans, 
questionable campaign financing, document shredding, stonewalling and 
obstruction of justice. The President's personal attorney has committed 
suicide.
  The White House counsel has resigned under fire and 10 White House 
aides have been subpoenaed to testify before a Federal grand jury. This 
reads as if it is an unbelievable novel, and the Democratic 
congressional leadership has steadfastly refused to convene any kind of 
an investigation.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of smoke here. And the Congress has 
constitutional obligation to determine if there is a fire. Let us allow 
the appropriate committees to conduct an honest investigation. And let 
us lay this Whitewatergate matter to rest one way or another and get to 
work on the business of the country.
