                                TAXGATE

  (Mr. DOOLITTLE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Mr. Speaker, according to news reports, the President 
and the First Lady paid back over $14 thousand in back taxes, interest, 
and penalties owed to the Federal Government since 1980.
  Apparently, during the so-called decade of greed, the Clintons were 
more greedy then they first admitted.
  It's appropriate that we learn of taxgate during tax week. All over 
the country, the American people are preparing their tax returns, and 
finding ways to pay the Clinton tax increases.
  Most Americans made their money the old-fashioned way, through hard 
work and dedication. Many small-business owners have scrimped and 
saved, cut costs, and layed off workers, all to pay for the President's 
higher taxes.
  And now we find the Clinton's themselves didn't pay all of their 
taxes on a suspicious commodities deal that netted them $100,000 during 
the decade of greed.
  The lesson here is simple: The President is very good at raising your 
taxes but forgot to pay his own.
