           AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE AND EXPECT AN EXPLANATION

  (Mr. GUTKNECHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUTKNECHT. Mr. Speaker, of all the scandals coming out of this 
White House, one scandal above all is perhaps the most disturbing. This 
scandal is more disturbing than the 900 FBI files on Republicans that 
somehow showed up in the White House; more disturbing than the use of 
private investigators to smear political opponents; more disturbing 
than the use of the IRS and the FBI to smear Billy Dale and the Travel 
Office employees; more disturbing than the allegations of perjury and 
obstruction of justice; and even more disturbing than the vast left-
wing coverup of all of the above.
  I am talking about the shocking revelation that the White House has 
helped the Communist Chinese Government with its missile program. We do 
not know if this administration gave a waver to Loral Corporation 
because the chairman, Bernard Schwartz, was the Democrat's top donor in 
1996 or not. But whether this administration did it for the money or 
not, the scandal is still almost beyond comprehension.
  At best, the administration inadvertently helped the Communist 
Chinese Government to develop its Long March missiles. The American 
people expect and deserve an explanation.
