                      DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN

  (Ms. WATERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. WATERS. Mr. Speaker, no, we have not forgotten. We thought you 
had. But finally after the filing of many complaints against Speaker 
Newt Gingrich and 14 months later, the House Committee on Standards of 
Official Conduct found the Speaker guilty, guilty, guilty on one, two, 
three counts of violating House rules by misusing official resources 
and the committee appointed a special outside counsel to investigate 
another serious charge about the Speaker's political GOPAC operation.
  Well, it is about time. Believe me, the American public does not 
appreciate double standards. What is good for the goose is good for the 
gander. No one should be so big, so important, so powerful they can 
violate the rules of this House and the laws of this country without 
suffering the consequences. Newt may be Speaker, however, he, too, must 
account for any and all wrongdoing. It is about time.
  Let us get on with the business of finding out who Newt Gingrich 
really is.
