                        SELLING POLITICAL FAVORS

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, while Republicans are working to fulfill 
their promise of changing business as usual in Washington, liberal 
Democrats have their sights set on campaign 1996.
  The Clinton White House has begun campaign efforts by starting their 
own version of the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Instead of 
buying chances at winning the million dollar grand prize, big Clinton 
campaign contributors are buying chances at winning big White House 
favors.
  In this political game, grand prize contributors of $100,000 win two 
dinners with President Clinton, two receptions with Vice President Al 
Gore, plus, their very own spot on a foreign trade mission with 
business and party leaders.
  They have yet to confirm if Ed McMahon will announce the winners of 
these special White House perks.
