                GREAT STONEWALL OF CONGRESS BY DEMOCRATS

  (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, as a young boy, I learned 
that the great wall of China was in China. But today, we learn that the 
Democrats in Congress have extended this great inpenetrable stone wall 
of China right through the White House and down the center aisle of 
Congress.
  Let me rephrase that. These stonewallers of justice have been busy 
erecting a new world wonder: A total, air-tight, round-the-clock 
stonewall by refusing to grant immunity to 4 key witnesses so that they 
might testify about illegal campaign contributions to the Democrat 
party from Communist China. Those witnesses are Kent La, Irene Wu, 
Larry Wong and Nancy Lee, witnesses that President Clinton's own 
Justice Department does not oppose granting immunity to.
  Let me repeat that again, Mr. Speaker. The same Democrats who deny 
they are stonewalling refuse to grant immunity to 4 key witnesses, even 
though the Justice Department does not oppose granting immunity to 
these 4 witnesses.
  The same Democrats who defend convicted felon Susan McDougal's 
refusal to tell the truth are the same Democrats who are blocking these 
4 key witnesses from coming forward to tell the truth. Mr. Speaker, the 
great wall of China has nothing over congressional Democrats, for their 
great stonewall of Congress is an even bigger spectacle.
