      THE WACO TRAGEDY: THE TRUTH VERSUS DAVID KORESH'S DREAM TEAM

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I have been very concerned that the 
actions of the ATF and the FBI were inappropriate, to say the least, in 
that tragedy that occurred for everyone in Waco. Therefore, as one who 
is concerned about the ATF and the FBI action, I observed with great 
interest the congressional hearings that were held in the last 
Congress, and I have been an equally observant watcher of the 
congressional hearings about Waco in this Congress. I must say, the 
hearings this time have been politicized, and in my judgment, worse, 
are really an embarrassment to this House, and to the American people 
who seek to find out the truth.
  The Republican majority on the committee are tragically acting like 
the defense for the Branch Davidians. They are appearing to be David 
Koresh's dream team. That is embarrassing. We need to get at the truth.
