          BART SIMPSON AND THE WHITE HOUSE: ``I DIDN'T DO IT''

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, Bart Simpson said, ``I didn't do it, nobody 
saw me, you can't prove anything.''
  Mr. Speaker, that is what we are hearing out of the White House when 
it comes to the files that were requested from the FBI: I did not do 
it. Bernard Nussbaum says, and he was White House counsel, he says he 
did not request these FBI files; yet 341 of them were sent to the White 
House on a letter with his name on it: Nobody saw me. The President 
says he did not read the files.
  But that is kind of what the gentleman from Texas, Dick Armey, said: 
``That is like the President saying he did not inhale.''
  You can't prove anything. That is because the White House is 
withholding 2,000 pages of information related to Travelgate documents, 
which is what spurred the request for the FBI files to begin with.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time for the White House to come clean about 
Travelgate and about Filegate because the American people deserve to 
know the truth about what is going on within those walls.
