                 LET THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR DO HIS JOB

  (Mr. RICHARDSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, what will come next on this nonissue 
called Whitewater? First, the Republicans wanted a special counsel and 
they got it. Now the Republicans want congressional hearings, even 
though this special counsel said it would interfere with their 
investigation. Yet they appear to be getting these congressional 
hearings. What is next? Will they want President and Mrs. Clinton to 
testify?
  I can just see the next scenario, Mr. Speaker. We will not have time 
for health care because of Whitewater, because we must examine 
Whitewater. We will not have time for the crime bill because we must 
examine Whitewater.
  Mr. Speaker, let us get on with the issues that the American people 
sent us to deal with: crime, education, deficit reduction, and health 
care. Let us put these nonissues aside. Let the special counsel do his 
job.
