      DEMAND FOR TRUST ABOUT WHITE HOUSE MISHANDLING OF FBI FILES

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, the Clinton administration has sunk to new 
depths of incompetency and unethical behavior.
  The President is sending his spin machine into overdrive in a massive 
attempt to prove that his actions were not unethical or illegal, but 
simply a bureaucratic snafu.
  Think about it, Mr. Speaker. This administration is making every 
effort possible to prove that its actions were incompetent. That is the 
best news that can come out of their inexcusable mishandling of these 
files.
  Mr. Speaker, we do not need Clinton's spinmeisters to prove to us 
that this administration is incompetent. We need the Clinton spin 
doctors to prove to us that they can tell us the honest truth about 
just one of the Clinton scandals without changing their story on a 
daily basis. And we need for them to prove to us that this 
administration is truly sorry and willing to cooperate with us in an 
effort to find out why the rights of individuals could be so 
haphazardly violated as they were in this case.
