                FINDING ANSWERS TO VINCE FOSTER'S DEATH

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, the Whitewater hearing started 
today on a very limited basis. And I think it was designed that way so 
that we could not get all of the questions answered that are so 
important to this investigation.
  One of the very important aspects of the investigation is the first 
report by Mr. Fiske, the special counsel. In that report he says that 
there is no connection between the death of Vince Foster, former 
assistant White House counsel, and the Whitewater affair.
  Tonight in a special order I am going to talk about that in more 
detail. This past Friday or Thursday I talked to the confidential 
witness that found Mr. Foster's body, and there are glaring differences 
between the Fiske report and what actually happened out there. There 
are differences big enough to drive a truck through, and I intend to 
try to ask questions tonight and prove to my colleagues' satisfaction 
that there is a connection between Foster's death and the Whitewater 
affair. In addition, that the body was moved. That is, Mr. Foster was 
not killed in the manner that the report says he was.
  I hope everybody will pay attention tonight. It is very important.
