    HAWAIIAN COVERAGE NOT UNIVERSAL, AND AMERICA'S THREE BIG PAPERS 
                 DESCRIBE LATEST VICTIMS OF WHITEWATER

  (Mr. DORNAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, Hawaii, 91.32 percent coverage, not 
universal; unacceptable to liberal Democrats on the mainland, but I 
will go there any time. The problem is, there is no Republican Party in 
Hawaii, just like there was no Republican Party in Arkansas since the 
Civil War; hence, this strange focus of Clinton ignoring the loyal 
opposition.
  Mr. Speaker, I know members want to hear from the three big papers in 
America: First, our national paper, the U.S.A. Today: ``Poll reflects 
Clinton setbacks, disapproval rating up, as Altman resigns.'' The Los 
Angeles Times: ``Altman is the highest-ranking victim of Whitewater.'' 
The New York Times: ``Roger Altman under fire.''
  It looks like they are caning him on the streets of one of our 
cities. The New York Times is cute when they select their photographs.
  Here is the Washington Post, liberal paper of record: ``Whitewater 
reverses banker's ambitions,'' and members are sacrificing their 
ambitions, at least 50 of them, on the altar of being a friend to Bill.
  However, there is a last one, Mr. Speaker, what a sad picture. It 
says he is the third victim. What about Vince Foster? He is the fourth 
victim. Hansen to come, then Josh Steiner, then about 20 of you.
