                   LEGISLATION OF THE 104TH CONGRESS

  (Mr. DOGGETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, this House Republican leadership has turned 
over the job of writing much of our legislation to special interest 
lobbyists. They gather here at the Capitol weekly to write the Nation's 
business. So, it is little wonder that now with the election 
approaching, they have begun a corruption search to cover their own 
misdeeds.
  The latest chapter in this is this callous act of raising these 
accusations about the death of Ron Brown at the very time his family 
still grieves. The Speaker said yesterday, Reagan was teflon, Clinton 
is flypaper, this stuff is going to start to stick.
  The only thing stuck around here is this Republican leadership. It is 
stuck in the gutter because of its own misdeeds and now these callous 
accusations.
