            TRUE INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I would note for the record that less than 
one-half hour ago, among the former Members of this Congress stood the 
former Senator from Tennessee, Howard Baker, who was recognized for his 
distinguished service. I would ask all of us who serve in this chamber 
to remember the example of Howard Baker and put principle ahead of 
partisanship when we deal with awesome questions of constitutional 
authority.
  Indeed, Mr. Speaker, I noted with great interest yesterday that the 
President held a ceremony dealing with international justice and the 
pursuit of international justice as our Nation's leading law 
enforcement officer.
  Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the President could allow his 
actions to speak louder than words if he and members of his party would 
seek the testimony of those over 90 individuals who have either taken 
the Fifth Amendment or fled the country, because, Mr. Speaker, if we 
want true international justice, it should begin there.
