                    MEMBERS SHOULD NOT BE DENIGRATED

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I count myself among the majority in the 
House who agree that none of us should denigrate any Member of this 
House, and I personally think that includes showing charts that 
denigrate Members of this House.
  I thought it was therefore ironic when Speaker Gingrich complained 
about his seat on Air Force One. We all understand, I believe, that the 
hallmark of his membership in this House has been verbal abuse, and the 
denigration of this President and Democratic-elected officials. Newt 
Gingrich has used these words about President Clinton, a previous 
Speaker of this House, or other Democrats: Sick, nuts, traders, 
corrupt, thugs. We all remember how he referred to the First Lady of 
the land. Frankly, Newt Gingrich is lucky to even get invited to ride 
on Air Force One.
