CARVILLE'S ENEMIES LIST
(Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, you know there are a lot of lists in the
world. There is the top 40 list of hit music, there is the top 10 list
that Letterman is so famous for. There is the list of the World Series
winners, the most valuable players, the Oscar winners and so forth. But
then of course the White House keeps a series of lists. We all remember
the list Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary had of friendly and
unfriendly reporters. There are the lists that the White House had of
900 private citizens who were deemed enemies of the State because they
were Republicans, and of course there is the donors list which they
have in the tax-paid-for computer at the White House.
But now there is a new list put out by James Carville, the Clinton
righthand man. This is the list of enemies of the administration. Who
is on this list? Such hard-core right wingers as Lamar Alexander. Keep
that in mind next time putting on a plaid shirt. Such guys as the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde); oh, is he not a fire storm kind of
guy? I mean one of the fairest and most respected Members of the House
from both sides is on the list as an enemy of the State.
And then there is Bill Bennett. Of course we know what he did. He
wrote that book of virtues which is offensive to the administration.
So I am going to submit this for the Record, Mr. Speaker.

Judicial Watch Uncovers Carville ``Enemies List''
carville documents and files show information compiled on perceived
clinton adversaries
Documents produced by James Carville and his Education
Information Project (EIP) in response to a Judicial Watch
subpoena in its Filegate case show that Carville uses the
organization as a means to compile information on perceived
adversaries of President Clinton. In addition to Judicial
Watch, the documents indicate that Carville targets and/or
keeps files on the following persons and groups:
Independnt Counsel Kenneth Starr, Independent Counsel
Donald Smaltz, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Congressman Henry
Hyde, Richard Mellon Scaife, Olin Foundation, Landmark Legal
Foundation, Congressman Dan Burton, Congressman Bob Barr,
David Bossie, Kathleen Willey, Jacob Stein, Judge David
Sentelle, Jim Guy Tucker, Paula Jones, Citizens for Honest
Government, Bradley Foundation, Senator Jesse Helms.
Senator Fred Thompson, Senator Lauch Faircloth, Pat
Robinson, David Brock, Floyd Brown, Governor Mike Huckabee,
Congressman Jack Kingston, Brent Bozell, Concord Coalition,
Common Cause, Susan Carpenter McMillan, Gil Davis, David
Hale, Dick Morris, Richard DeVos/Amway, Lamar Alexander, Bill
Bennett, Joe DiGenova.
The documents also indicate that Carville likely works with
Clinton lawyers David Kendall and Mickey Kantor in compiling
some of his information on Kenneth Starr. Other evidence
produced by Carville suggest that EIP considered, at least,
using President Clinton's private investigator Terry Lenzner
and his firm IGI to investigate Independent Counsel Kenneth
Starr.
