  WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE DURING THE FIRST 50 DAYS?

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, quite rightly, the attention of America 
has been focused on this Chamber during the last 50 days, but it is 
only fair to ask what has been going on at the White House during the 
first 50 days of our Contract With America.
  The President's embattled Commerce Secretary finds himself the 
subject of yet another Justice Department corruption probe. The 
President supposedly laid down the law with baseball owners and 
players--they did not listen to him either--in an unsuccessful bid to 
end the baseball strike.
  Then the President sent a Surgeon General nominee to the Hill, misled 
Congress several times at to the number of abortions this nominee 
performed, and then attacked the pro-life movement for being concerned.
  Mr. Speaker, while the Republicans have been busy with our Contract 
With America, the White House has been trying to legitimize a Cabinet 
Secretary's alleged corruption, attempted to play umpire in a 
millionaires' dispute, and failed to do a thorough background check on 
a Cabinet nominee, while all the while misrepresenting the nominee's 
record.
  Mr. Speaker, Republicans are worried about average, everyday American 
concerns, not worried about millionaires, corrupt politicians, or left-
wing political movements.
  That is why we will move in the next 50 days to enact our Contract 
With America.
