       JUDGE STARR'S INVESTIGATION SLOWED BY WHITE HOUSE TACTICS

  (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, one of the famous lines of a song that our 
beloved former Member, Sonny Bono, sang was, ``The beat goes on.'' That 
in some way describes Judge Starr's investigation into perjury, 
suborning perjury, and other possible violations of the law that may 
have been committed by our President.
  Some of Judge Starr's critics say that he has taken too long and has 
cost too much, but the irony of their criticism is that the 
investigation would be over except for the delaying tactics from the 
White House, except for the claims of executive privilege, except for 
the claims of attorney-client privilege, except for the stone wall that 
is built around the White House.
  Mr. Speaker, Judge Starr could have completed his investigation, but 
the President will not come forward and the White House has prevented 
the investigation from being completed.
