                           A CHILDREN'S TALE

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, since the Republicans have decided that in 
their so-called open house that Democrats are not allowed to say 
certain things, I would like to relate the following children's tale.
  Once upon a time, there was a little piglet who spent most of his 
days rolling around in a filthy ditch, throwing mud and insults at the 
giraffes walking around outside. He was so good at doing this, he 
started an organization called GOPIG, which distributed tapes to his 
piggy friends teaching them how to use such words as ``sick,'' and 
``grotesque'' to describe the giraffes.
  One day, the piglet came out of his ditch and the giraffes began to 
chase after him. As he ran, the little piglet squealed and squealed 
that what they were doing was unfair and that he might get an 
infection.
  Mr. Speaker, the moral of this story is, it is time for an outside 
counsel to put the book deal to rest once and for all.
