                               THE TRUTH

  (Mr. KNOLLENBERG asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Mr. Speaker, the Banking Committee chairman has 
finally seen the light. He has endorsed the concept of hearings on 
Whitewater, despite earlier condemning Republicans for trying to get 
the facts on the whole affair.
  The Chairman said: ``It is time for Democrats to use the truth, the 
weapon Republicans fear the most.''
  Of course, if Republicans feared the truth, we would not have been 
calling for hearings. Indeed, searching for the truth has been our only 
mission all along.
  We Republicans do not seek to destroy the Presidency. It is 
preposterous to think that we even have that power.
  We simply want what the American people want--the truth.
  It is too bad that some in this House and the administration have 
been so reluctant to let us examine the facts. It is too bad that our 
only hearing scheduled to date has been yanked.
  Let us show that none of us in this House fear the truth. Let us have 
hearings and set the truth free.
