   HISTORY BEING REWRITTEN REGARDING COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST SPEAKER

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, history is being rewritten down here in 
this well today. I want to tell my colleagues that when I listen to the 
other side, I have heard of putting lipstick on pigs, but they are 
really going crazy this morning.
  Now, the way I see it is, there were 6 complaints filed, not 65. Six 
complaints. Three of them he was declared guilty by the bipartisan 
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Guilty, guilty, guilty. 
Three complaints. Please, let us not rewrite what has been done. It is 
a record of this House.
  On one of the others, they moved to get a special counsel to look 
into it. That is very serious. One is still pending, and there are more 
supposedly coming to be filed. I think these are very serious. We 
should not play partisan politics with this, and this is not get-even 
time. The Democrats don't have to do anything to Speaker Gingrich. All 
we have to do is stand back and let Newt be Newt. He is doing it, and I 
think it is really causing great trouble.
