                     FULL DISCLOSURE ON WHITEWATER

  (Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, the stonewalling by the Democrat majority 
in the House has subsided, at least for now. Earlier this morning the 
bipartisan leadership of the House has come to some agreement that 
there will be hearings on the Whitewater matter, and their related 
intricate dealings with regard to the administration and others in 
Arkansas.
  This is a very important step because it is only through hearings and 
public disclosure and full disclosure that the House can meet its 
constitutional responsibility to provide oversight over the executive 
branch of government.
  We have heard a lot over these last few weeks, we have a special 
prosecutor, a special counsel who is looking at criminal activity, 
civil problems that may have occurred. The Congress has a responsible 
role, and I am glad to see that we have come to some agreement today, 
which is the first step in putting together a structure that will bring 
hearings to this House and full disclosure to the American people.
