                   ONGOING WHITE HOUSE INVESTIGATION

  (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, is there not a single Democrat in this House 
that is offended by the fact that the White House has hired private 
investigators to look into the private lives of Federal investigators 
and smear their political enemies?
  Is there not a single Democrat in this House that is even bothered 
that the Independent Counsel is being publicly smeared and vilified by 
the White House attack team in open violation of the law?
  Is there not a single Democrat in this House that does not find 
repugnant the tactics used by the White House spin machine to attack 
its accusers using tactics that would have made Joe McCarthy proud?
  Is there not a single Democrat that has had enough of the lies and 
stonewalling and routine destruction of lives and reputations of any 
and all who dare to investigate what Attorney General Reno herself has 
said requires investigation?
  It was discovered that the White House was illegally in possession of 
900 FBI files, all just happen to be Republican, and no one knows 
anything?
  Is there not someone on the other side who will speak up about all 
the abuse by the White House?
