       TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE PETER T. KING, MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  (Ms. MOLINARI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MOLINARI. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from New York, Peter King, 
is a legislator of utmost integrity. He is fair and he is honest, with 
men and women. He is tough and he is conscientious on issues facing men 
and women. And he is a credit to all the voters who bring him to this 
Chamber, today, and especially during the investigation of the 
Whitewater hearings.
  My colleagues, it is not always easy being a woman in today's 
society, but we can't always use it as an excuse when we are 
challenged. And we should never use it as an attack, when it could hurt 
and impugn the integrity and the respect of an individual like 
Congressman Peter King.
  I stand here in the well as a woman who is very proud to consider him 
a close friend and, in many ways, someone I seek to follow in the 
legislative battles that are conducted on the floor.
