                           INFLUENCE FOR SALE

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. We all know, Mr. Speaker, what it is that Bill Clinton 
does best. Unfortunately for the American people it is not foreign 
policy, it is not solving Medicare problems, and it certainly is not 
balancing the budget. No, it is not governing that Bill Clinton does 
best, so he is going to use the White House to do what he does best, to 
campaign. He is going to use the people's house to raise money for his 
campaign.
  But from the President who claims to ``feel your pain'' he is not 
going to pay a visit to the average Americans that tour the White House 
on a daily basis. Instead he is selling himself to a privileged few for 
up to $100,000 per person.
  Now our friends on the Democratic side of the aisle would be going 
nuts if this was a Republican President doing this. I wonder where 
those voices of righteous indignation are today. Unfortunately it is 
too bad that the President cares more about money for his reelection 
than earning the people's trust.
