              COVERING UP FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE DNC

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, as always, I was inspired by the talk 
of the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Lewis]. He was a leader in the 
sixties. I think he still is a leader here. I want to come to this side 
of the aisle to impress upon my friends on the Democratic side to start 
moving forward and doing things to clean up their own house on campaign 
finance before they go to the other side and talk about how we need to 
reform laws that they are not even obeying.
  Today, Bob Woodward writes, ``New documents provide stark new 
evidence that the party advertising in the Democratic scheme was 
illegal.'' On the front page of the New York Times, not regularly a 
Republican supporter, it says in one instance, ``blatant improper 
lobbying of the President's security council, Ms. Heslin, told of her 
amazement that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, 
Donald L. Fowler, dared to call in October 1995 to say that a CIA agent 
would be telephoning'' to lobby to let this dangerous international 
criminal into the White House. Of course, we know the rest of this 
shady scheme.
  What this is amounting to on the side of the Democrats is covering up 
for the White House and the Democratic National Committee. Do your job. 
Do the American people's job. Clean up this mess.
