                          WHITEWATER WHITEWASH

  (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, I believe there is a whitewash of 
Whitewater going on.
  The Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs that is 
investigating the Whitewater case has said that they will not talk 
about the Vince Foster death and his connection to Whitewater. There 
was a vote taken in the committee 2 days ago on party lines and they 
squelched any questions pertaining to Mr. Foster's death and his 
connection with Whitewater. Now today, 2 days later, they have said 
that they are going to have 10 people from the White House on one 
panel. One of those people is Hillary Clinton's chief of staff who went 
into Vince Foster's office 2 or 3 hours after his death and took out 
all the Whitewater files along with Bernie Nussbaum and Patsy 
Thomasson. They are putting 10 of them up there at one time and giving 
the Republicans only 5 minutes to question all 10 of them.
  This is a deliberate attempt to obstruct finding the answers to this 
very important issue, Whitewater. I am saying to my colleagues what 
Abraham Lincoln said a long time ago:

       It is true that you may fool all the people some of the 
     time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but 
     you can't fool all of the people all the time.

  Mr. Speaker, the truth will come out. It may take some time, but it 
will come out.
