              CALL FOR RELEASE OF ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, normally what goes around comes around. 
Normally people who abuse their positions of power to destroy political 
rivals in underhanded and dishonest ways ultimately become the victims 
of their own corruption. The snake that they unleash from their souls 
invariably comes around to bite them as well. But that natural law of 
justice has been thwarted in this body. It has been thwarted because 
Speaker Gingrich has suppressed the release of an Ethics Committee 
report that details activities that makes Speaker Wright's 
improprieties pale in comparison.
  Mr. Speaker, we have a number of quotes from Speaker Gingrich that 
identify the reasons why Speaker Wright was charged. They are far more 
applicable to the charges that have been leveled against Speaker 
Gingrich. If you take Speaker Gingrich at his words, we would release 
this Ethics Committee report today.
