                   WITHOUT TRUTH, THERE IS NO JUSTICE

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, without truth, there is no justice.
  I would like to address the vicious attacks made by the liberals on 
the Members of Congress who are tasked with finding out the truth about 
the allegations of crimes by the Clinton White House. These vicious 
attacks are remarkably similar to the mean and unfair attacks directed 
at Judge Starr, who is also charged with finding out the truth about 
the allegations of crimes by the White House.
  We have heard this before directed at Senator Thompson, at Senator 
D'Amato, also tasked with finding out the truth about the allegations 
of crimes at the White House. As before, these attacks on the gentleman 
from Indiana (Mr. Burton), the chairman of the Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight, are misleading and absurd.
  The tapes released by the Chairman were not doctored, not a single 
bit. All the tapes were available to anyone in the press who would 
bother to listen to them. Transcripts which were made available to the 
press were not taken out of context. Indeed, we would be extremely 
pleased to hear the spin on Webster Hubbell's comment that he ``needs 
to roll over one more time.'' We would like to know what he really 
meant by that. But once again, it is a same old story: Attack the 
accuser and hide the truth.
