       FAMILY OF VINCENT FOSTER SEEKS RELIEF FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from South 
Carolina [Mr. Derrick].
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, in today's Washington Post, the family of 
Vincent Foster has asked that his death not be subject to further 
public comment and further public scrutiny.
  I want to tell the Members that I know that family, and I would ask 
all Members, let us leave them alone. Nothing is achieved by talking 
about it other than making the family miserable.
  I have heard some remarks on this matters that I would not expect to 
hear in the lowest dive in this country. These remarks have been 
absolutely uncalled for and reprehensible, not to mention totally 
lacking in class.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask all Members on both sides of the aisle, let 
us not have any further comment on this subject.
