                         ATTACKING JUDGE STARR

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, Former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker; 
Clinton business partners Jim and Susan McDougal; former Arkansas Judge 
David Hale; former Associate Attorney General and Rose Law firm partner 
of Hillary Clinton and golfing partner, Webb Hubbell; Arkansas 
businessman Eugene Fitzhugh; Arkansas businessman Charles Matthews; 
Arkansas appraiser Robert Palmer; Whitewater real estate agent Chris 
Wade; Arkansas banker Neal Ainley; former top Clinton aide Stephen 
Smith; Arkansas Little Rock developer Larry Kuca; and Arkansas 
businessman William J. Marks, Sr., 13 people either convicted or 
pleaded guilty.

                              {time}  1045

  I wonder how these people feel when they hear over and over again 
from James Carville and the Clinton attack machine, who defend ethical 
outrages that Judge Starr's investigations have ``turned up nothing.''
  White House tactics bring to mind a tactic known to every trial 
lawyer: When you have the facts, argue the facts; when you have the 
law, argue the law; when you have neither the facts nor the law, attack 
the prosecutor.
  Nothing to show? Maybe Judge Starr's attackers might want to ask 
those 13 people what they think.
