           ANOTHER CLINTON SCANDAL BREWING: FBI FILES RAIDED

  (Mrs. SEASTRAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, the paper shredders over at the White 
House are abuzz with activity. Yet another Clinton scandal is brewing 
involving a coverup and the abuse of power.
  Evidently, the Clinton administration raided the FBI files of 341 
Bush and Reagan employees. Not only were these people investigated, but 
their files were kept inside the vault of the White House security 
office.
  Information gleaned from these files was passed along to Clinton 
appointee Craig Livingstone, whose boss was Associate Counsel William 
H. Kennedy, a former Rose law firm partner with Hillary Clinton.
  Mr. Speaker, why did the White House want these files? What kind of 
information were they after? Are there other people who were 
investigated?
  In 1992, Bill Clinton refused to make public any FBI files about his 
anti-Vietnam activity. But as President he has no reservations 
whatsoever about raiding the FBI files of his Republican opponents.
