                      THE RUPERT MURDOCH TAX BREAK

  (Mr. DEUTSCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, there is an expression that most of us have 
heard: ``If it walks like a duck and it sounds like a duck and it 
quacks like a duck and it smells like a duck, then it is probably a 
duck.'' But we might want to change that in this Chamber to say that 
``Maybe it is Newt Gingrich.''
  My, my, my--a special tax break for Rupert Murdoch, $63 million, and 
then blaming it on Senator Moseley-Braun. All of us might think so, but 
no one in America believes it.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Gingrich, no one in American believes that it was 
Senator Mosley-Braun. You know it was you. You know what was involved. 
It would not have happened without you, and it is wrong. It is business 
as usual in this Chamber, and it is wrong.
  I urge the President to veto this legislation. He needs to veto it. 
It is not what the American people want. It is the absolute wrong way 
we ought to be conducting ourselves in this Chamber.
