                              WHAT A LIST

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Terry and Mary Kohler: $715,457.
  Richard Gilder, Jr.: $310,000.
  Roger Milliken: $255,000.
   [[Page H899]] These are but a few of the heavy hitters who have 
contributed to Speaker Gingrich's personal political machine, GOPAC. Is 
it any wonder the Speaker wants to keep this list a secret?
  The Los Angeles Times succeeded yesterday in doing what the Federal 
Election Commission is attempting to do in the courts, revealing the 
contributors to GOPAC and what their interests are in legislation 
before this Congress.
  What does the contributor get for $715,000? Only an outside 
independent counsel can tell us for sure.
  The lists of questions about the Speaker's financial dealings get 
longer and longer. I ask, ``Isn't it time we get an answer?''
  We need an outside counsel. We need one now.
