                  UPDATE ON VINCE FOSTER INVESTIGATION

  (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, when I read the Fiske report 
regarding Vince Foster's death and its possible connection to the 
Whitewater investigation, I had a lot of questions, as many Members 
have had. So I made it a point to try to find out who the confidential 
witness was, the man who found Vince Foster's body.
  I found out through Gordon Liddy who he was. I set up an appointment, 
and I went out to see this man. I showed him the picture of Vince 
Foster's hand with the gun in it and, when he saw it, he said, ``That 
is not the way it was. That is not the way the body was when I found 
it.'' He said, ``The head was moved and the hands were moved.''
  So I took a statement from the man. He signed a statement before me 
in his own words saying that the body had been moved and that the Fiske 
report was inaccurate.
  Many of my colleagues were skeptical as were many in the media. So 
last Thursday, the gentleman from California [Mr. Rohrabacher] and the 
gentleman from Florida [Mr. Mica] and I went out there with a court 
reporter and we had this man sworn in and he swore before God that the 
statement he made was true. And we got his statement.
  And tonight in special orders, I am going to go through his statement 
line by line so anybody who is interested, any of my colleagues who 
wants to know what really happened at Marcy Park when he found that 
body, tune in tonight.
