                     MORE ON THE SPEAKER AND ETHICS

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, every single week seems to bring a new 
ethics problem for Newt Gingrich.
  This week, the Associated Press reveals that when Mr. Gingrich was 
seeking approval from the Ethics Committee to teach his college class, 
he failed to tell them that his political action committee would be 
involved.
  Keep in mind: This class was sold as a nonpartisan class.
  If it turned out that GOPAC was involved, the course may be in 
violation of both Federal tax laws and House rules.
  But on Monday, the AP reported that not only was GOPAC involved, it 
raised funds for the class, it sent mass mailings, and it even wrote 
course-related memos attacking President Clinton.
  And Mr. Gingrich failed to disclose any of this to the Ethics 
Committee.
  Just as he failed to disclose past contributors to GOPAC.
  And just as he has failed to disclose GOPAC's expenses.
  Mr. Speaker, I say it is time for Newt Gingrich to stop playing hide 
and seek with the American people.
  It is time for him to disclose his correspondence with the Ethics 
Committee.
  Disclose the past GOPAC donors.
  Disclose the past GOPAC expenses.
  And let an outside counsel come in and get to the bottom of this 
mess.
