                             WELL-ORGANIZED

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, a few days ago the First Lady accused 
Republicans of launching a well-organized effort to undermine the 
President with the Whitewater affair. Well organized? I have been a 
Republican a long, long time, and I have heard lots of adjectives 
applied to the Republican Party, but never well organized. That has 
never been one of those adjectives.
  Not only are the First Lady's comments laughable, but all weekend 
long Bill Clinton went around the country whining about how mistreated 
he is. They remind me of the conspiracy theories of the Ross Perot 
campaign for President. No, Republicans are not launching a well-
organized campaign to get the President; we are, however, trying to get 
the facts.
  Full disclosure, I do not think that is too much to ask. But there 
seems to be a well-organized effort to stonewall Congress and the 
American people from getting those facts.
  I urge the administration to stop acting guilty and start acting 
responsibly. Let us get at the truth so that we can put this affair 
behind us.
