                       MR. JONES AND THE SPEAKER

  (Mr. MILLER of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, how many more times do the 
Members of this House and the public have to pick up the newspaper and 
see a new ethical transgression by the Speaker of the House, Newt 
Gingrich? Once again, we are treated in the Wall Street Journal to Newt 
Gingrich mixing campaign contributions, private interests, and public 
service. We now see that Mr. Donald Jones served as an adviser to Mr. 
Gingrich 2 or 3 hours a day to interpret the telecommunications bill to 
him while he gave Mr. Gingrich, his PAC gave the Republican Party 
$125,000, $25,000 to the Gingrich PAC.
  It turns out that, not only did Mr. Jones have a financial interest 
in the outcome of the telecommunications bill, he was sitting in the 
Speaker's office, but also when many of us were startled when the 
Speaker took a position against the cyberporn portions of the 
telecommunications bill to protect children from pornography. We now 
find out that Mr. Jones had a financial interest in the 
telecommunications company that was dealing with pornography and adult 
films. Mr. Jones said he did not know. Forty percent of his income from 
that company came from pornography. Mr. Speaker, clean up your office.
