           COMPROMISING NATIONAL SECURITY FOR POLITICAL GAIN

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I agree with the audience. I 
am outraged though.
  Today, every day, it is a new story about this President using 
taxpayer dollars, using the White House and now using classified 
national security information to raise money for his own reelection 
campaign. Today's Washington Post reveals that the White House actually 
gave top secret information to the Democrat National Committee.
  When I was in the military, if someone failed to safeguard classified 
information, they were relieved from duty and court-martialed. Maybe it 
is time to relieve this President from his duties and court-martial 
him.

                              {time}  1415

  The White House has put the lives of CIA officers in jeopardy and 
endangered every American by compromising our national security for 
Clinton's own political gain. America wants, needs, and deserves to 
have a leader who protects this Nation instead of exploiting it.
