                TIME TO LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT WHITEWATER

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, a jury found Jim McDougal and his wife, 
Susan McDougal, guilty; guilty on 22 counts. They face 10 years in 
prison, 10 times that, 100 years and over $5 million in fines. A jury 
found Arkansas Governor Tucker guilty on two counts. He faces 10 years 
and a half a million dollars in fines. I do not know if the McDougals 
are innocent or guilty. I do not know if Tucker is innocent or guilty, 
but I know one thing for sure. If they have any friends left in the 
savings and loan industry, now is the time to call them up.
  As a Democrat I want to say this, is it any wonder the American 
taxpayers got shafted for over $100 billion in savings and loans 
ripoffs, after seeing what happened in Little Rock? I think it is time 
to find the truth. They had better make a loan. They are sure facing a 
lot of penalties.
