                            THE TOP TEN LIST

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, here are Congressman Pete Stark's 10 
top excuses for his comments made yesterday to his colleague, the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson].
  As you may recall, he said that the gentlewoman from Connecticut 
[Mrs. Johnson] received her medical degree through pillow talk.
  Excuse No. 10, ``I was hallucinating.''
  Excuse No. 9, ``Early start to St. Patrick's Day.''
  Excuse No. 8, ``Talking about that famous medical school, Pillow Talk 
University.''
  Excuse No. 7, ``I meant ``pillow'' in the very best sense of the 
word.''
  Excuse No. 6, ``Flashback to the 1950's movie ``Pillow Talk;'' he 
thought the gentlewoman from Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson] was Doris 
Day.''
  Excuse No. 5, ``It was not me. It was my evil twin Paul.''
  Excuse No. 4, ``I did not realize the mike was on.''
  Excuse No. 3, ``I said what?''
  Excuse No. 2, ``I used to get it, but I did not get it, but I get it 
now. Really.''
  The Congressman's No. 1 excuse, ``There is no excuse.''
  In this Women's History Month, this is a sad piece of history.
