          THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT THE FACTS ABOUT WHITEWATER

  (Mr. RAMSTAD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RAMSTAD. Mr. Speaker, why is the White House afraid of the 
appointment of a new independent counsel to investigate Whitewater? Why 
have they orchestrated an attack on Kenneth Starr if they have nothing 
to hide? After all, Mr. Starr was on Attorney General Reno's original 
list of proposed special counsels. The Attorney General thought enough 
of Mr. Starr to put him on that list. Mr. Speaker, the American people 
have every right to know the facts about Whitewater. Let us leave the 
independent counsel alone so he can get to the truth about Whitewater. 
Let us have a thorough, complete, impartial investigation of Whitewater 
and no more whitewashings. Let us lay off the new independent counsel 
so he can do his job of finding the truth. Let us let the chips fall 
where they may.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve nothing less.
