           ASSOCIATE COUNSEL AT THE WHITE HOUSE SHOULD RESIGN

  (Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, it is very clear from today's Washington 
Post story that William Kennedy III, associate counsel at the White 
House, should resign today.
  The story indicates clearly that he failed to pay his taxes. The 
story indicates clearly that when he did pay part of his taxes, he did 
so in his wife's former maiden name, the only occasion on which they 
ever used the name, and while he denies having done that to avoid the 
FBI background check, it is a very peculiar circumstance.
  The story goes on to say that only in the middle of a divorce 
proceeding has he in the last 3 weeks decided that he actually should 
pay his back taxes, because it has become public.
  The last thing this country needs is to have an associate counsel to 
the President of the United States who has failed to pay his taxes and 
who has acted in ways designed to ensure that the FBI does not know 
what he was doing, and I think that for public good and for the White 
House's good that Mr. Kennedy should resign today.
