                   JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED

  (Mr. GRAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GRAMS. Mr. Speaker, when I think of the Whitewater affair, I am 
reminded of the saying, ``Justice delayed is justice denied.'' Because 
that is what the Government has done to the American people by holding 
back the truth about what really happened with Whitewater.
  Why even now, with less than a week to go before the hearings begin, 
invitation letters to witnesses have yet to go out. That's right, 
Banking Committee Chairman Henry Gonzalez is finally holding a 
Whitewater hearing, but almost no one has been invited to attend.
  Well, I have just one thing to tell the folks who run the coverup 
shop here in Washington: You may try to lull the American people to 
sleep on Whitewater, but you will not succeed. If there is one 
characteristic people prize the most, it is honesty. And our 
constituents expect their representatives in Government to be as honest 
with them as they are with us.
  So I urge those involved at the White House to give up the charade 
and come clean on Whitewater next week. By working together to uncover 
the truth, we might persuade the American people to give their 
government one more chance.
  Justice delayed is justice denied. Let us show the people we have 
nothing to hide.
