                       THE CLINTONS' PARTNERSHIP

  (Mr. DORNAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, I have a 60 minute scheduled special order 
for later, but I am not sure that I will be able to make an airplane 
and do that, so I will put it off until next week.
  Mr. Speaker, an amazing victory on the saving of Medicare for us 
senior citizens; I am 62.
  I wanted to point out to my colleagues one of these occasional 
columns that comes along that has staying power. This is by one of the 
better writers at The New York Times, Maureen Dowd. She has the 
excellent columns from Clinton's photo ops on Normandy Beach.
  She writes, and I think this one should be read by every Member of 
this body in the other chamber,

       Is Hillary Rodham Clinton playing the gender card from the 
     bottom of the deck?

  That is the way it starts, and she closes,

       Mrs. Clinton seems to feel that if she occasionally plays 
     Pat Nixon, giving interviews to food writers, inviting gossip 
     columnists to lunch, watching children dance, she might allay 
     angst about her power. She thinks Americans fear the 
     partnership with her husband. What they really fear is a 
     bargain that ignores accountability. It is not about being a 
     woman. It is about not being elected.

  The body of it is ever better.
  I will do that aforementioned 60 minutes special order next week 
about the breakdown of our judicial system and the fact that justice 
was not done in Los Angeles, and I will send $1,000 to Mr. Ron Goldman 
who said today that he wished his son had been able to play golf this 
week as O.J. Simpson has been playing golf in our face.
