                   WILL KENNETH STARR BE FAIR-MINDED?

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Kenneth Starr is the new investigator of 
President Clinton and Whitewater. Will he be objective and fair-minded? 
Only time really will tell.
  But one thing they know for sure is Kenneth Starr is a Republican. 
Kenneth Starr was appointed Solicitor General by a Republican 
President. Kenneth Starr has made a number of political contributions, 
in the thousands, all to Republican candidates, and all to the 
Republican Party.
  We also know that Kenneth Starr got himself involved in a lawsuit 
involving the President and Paula Corbin Jones. He did so voluntarily, 
and Kenneth Starr has openly criticized President Clinton.
  Is it is any wonder the Democrats believe that Kenneth Starr is a 
Republican hit man, appointed by Republican judges who were themselves 
appointed by a Republican President, Ronald Reagan? I do not know, but 
I find it hard to believe, Mr. Speaker, that in all of America there 
has only been one capable, fair-minded lawyer able to investigate 
Whitewater and Democrat President Bill Clinton, and that happens to be 
Kenneth Starr.
  Beam me up.
