                       HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL

  (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, in a way, the stonewalling done by the hear 
no evil, see no evil Members on the Committee on House Oversight is a 
good thing, but only in a political sense.
  Hear no evil, see no evil Members refused to grant immunity to four 
key witnesses in the campaign finance investigations, even though the 
Justice Department does not oppose the granting of immunity to these 
four witnesses so that their testimony may be heard.
  The behavior of the hear no evil, see no evil Members is an insult to 
millions of proud Democrats who do believe in the rule of law, who do 
believe that politicians should be held accountable for their behavior, 
and who do believe that truth matters more than polls, more than spin, 
more than political gain.
  The truth will eventually come out, the truth about which Members 
sought the truth, and which Members did everything in their power to 
prevent the truth from ever seeing the light of day.
