              INVESTIGATION OF 1996 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Madam Speaker, investigations into crimes that may have 
been committed during the 1996 Presidential campaign are about a lot 
more than taking foreign money. They are a lot more than just the 
effort to secretly get around the rules that everyone else had to 
follow and then worry about explaining the misdeeds after the election.
  No, Madam Speaker, the liberal media attempts to downplay this 
scandal. These investigations are also about compromising national 
security, about selling out American foreign policy to the highest 
bidder and acting in complicity with the Communist Government of China 
to subvert the democratic process in the United States.
  I believe that I am correct, Madam Speaker, that both Democrats and 
Republicans would agree that these charges are truly alarming. In fact, 
all Americans who believe in democracy, who believe that America should 
decide who should rule over America and who believe that secret money 
laundering operations represent political corruption at its most 
disgraceful, all believe that we must find out the truth about these 
scandals. Democracy demands it.
