             WHITEWATERGATE--ANOTHER TYPE OF MARCH MADNESS

  (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, March Madness is here. No, I am not talking 
about the NCAA College Basketball Tournament; I am talking about the 
Democratic Party's strange aversion to open hearings on the 
Whitewatergate affair.
  The latest majority party escapade regarding Whitewater occurred when 
the chairman of the Banking Committee first decided not to hold legally 
required oversight hearings on the Resolution Trust Corporation and 
then dramatically, no doubt due to pressure, changed his mind.
  He has now called for a select committee to investigate this sordid 
affair. He would rather have someone else do the dirty work.
  But even that is progress. But when, when, when?
  I agree with those who say we need to put the whole scandal behind us 
so we can work on the issues in which the voters are interested. But 
first, we need to find out the facts.
  Mr. Speaker, support full disclosure. If the President and his agents 
and staff did nothing wrong, then they should have nothing to fear. Let 
this House--and the American public--have full disclosure.
