              PRESIDENT OWES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE TRUTH

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Madam Speaker, this whole presidential scandal is a sad, 
unfortunate situation, but it will not end until Bill Clinton comes 
forward and tells the American people the truth.
  We have heard enough from the presidential political hit men and spin 
doctors. It is time for Mr. Clinton to come forward so that we can put 
this behind us and move forward.
  Madam Speaker, the presidency belongs to the American people, not to 
one individual. Being President is more than a privilege, it is a 
profound responsibility, a sacred duty. The individual who sits in the 
White House is less important than the honor and integrity of the 
institution itself.
  Mr. Clinton owes it to the American people, to the proud tradition of 
the presidency, and to the country to come forward and tell the truth 
so that we can return to the Nation's business. The truth.
