           DEMOCRATS NOT INTERESTED IN DISCOVERING THE TRUTH

  (Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I am holding in my hand 
four letters from the Clinton Justice Department.
  Now these letters state that the Justice Department does not oppose 
granting of immunity to four key witnesses to the House Committee on 
Government Reform and Oversight's investigation into illegal campaign 
contributions in the President's 1996 campaign.
  Again, these letters are from the Justice Department, and they state 
that the Justice Department does not oppose the immunization of four 
witnesses so their testimony may be heard, and yet the Democrats on the 
committee refuse to grant immunity to these four witnesses in 
opposition to their own Justice Department.
  Now we have the mother of all stonewalls. Democrats on the committee 
are now stonewalling even the Clinton Justice Department. American 
fatigue over the endless scandals and investigations is exceeded only 
by the fatigue of the investigators who meet with stonewalling, delay 
tactics, evasion, convenient memory losses, document shredding and 
total noncooperation everywhere they turn.
  Mr. Speaker, the truth is there for all to see. The Democrats are 
simply not interested in discovering the truth.
