                         THE WHITEWATER FIASCO

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, it is springtime in Washington, and that 
means sunshine, unless, of course, we are talking about shining a 
little light on Whitewater. The Whitewater fiasco continues.
  Yesterday, the chairman of the House Committee on Banking, Finance 
and Urban Affairs canceled RTC oversight hearings. These hearings, 
which are already most overdue, are required by the rules of the House 
and the law of the land. Yet they were canceled, because the Democrat 
leadership found them inconvenient.
  It would appear that they do not want the American people to hear 
what officials at the Resolution Trust Corporation have to say about 
Madison and the Whitewater Development Corp.
  Mr. Speaker, what about Madison and Whitewater is so profound that 
the American people must be kept in the dark about the entire affair. 
More importantly, when will we be able to dispose of this issue and get 
on with doing the people's business.
  All that anyone has asked for is that matters concerning Whitewater 
be dealt with in an open and honest manner. Evidently, this is too much 
to ask.
