                        THE FACTS ON WHITEWATER

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, let us put aside President Clinton's Rumple- 
stiltskinesque tirade of a few days ago and examine the facts.
  No. 1. It was Jerry Brown, a Democrat not a Republican, who--in a 
1992 debate right before the Illinois primary--first said that the then 
Governor's ``wife's law firm is representing clients before State 
agencies, his appointees.''
  No. 2. It was the New York Times not the Washington Times which 
published the first article on Whitewater. By the way, that article was 
summarily dismissed during the campaign by the now infamously 
incomplete Lyon's report.
  No. 3. Congress conducted hearings and/or investigations into 25 
separate allegations of ethical wrongdoing during the Reagan and Bush 
administrations. To date, Congress has yet to conduct a single hearing 
or investigation into the Clinton administration.
  Mr. Speaker, before President Clinton falls below the floor boards of 
American politics he ought to do himself and the American public a 
favor, disclose.
