 ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO SHOULD DEMAND THE WHITE HOUSE STOP INTERFERING 
                    WITH JUDGE STARR'S INVESTIGATION

  (Mr. BRADY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, what is happening right now to Judge Kenneth 
Starr is just shameful. Attorney General Janet Reno, the President's 
own appointment, chose Judge Starr to investigate solid allegations of 
perjury and obstruction of justice. Judge Starr was appointed by the 
Attorney General because he has a track record of very distinguished 
and honorable service. In fact, many of those who attack him today on 
the Democratic side praised him for his honesty and his fairness and 
his balance.
  Mr. Speaker, if Judge Starr has acted improperly in any manner, he 
should be removed immediately as independent counsel. If he has shown 
himself to be conducting in an unfair, partisan manner the 
investigation, he must be removed.
  But if he is not acting, if he has not done anything wrong or 
improper, Attorney General Reno should make a statement now demanding 
that friends of the White House stop interfering with his investigation 
and stop the campaign to destroy him. Because how else will we ever get 
to the truth?
