                       ONE INTERESTING CONSPIRACY

  (Mr. BALLENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BALLENGER. Mr. Speaker, the most amazing thing about the so-
called ``vast right-wing conspiracy'' is that it is led by Democrats.
  In fact, what is even more surprising is that it is led by Democrats 
who volunteer their time to help the Clinton-Gore White House.
  Kathleen Willey and Monica Lewinsky were White House volunteers and 
loyal Democrats, about the last people we would expect to organize a 
vast right-wing conspiracy.
  But just think about the other Democrats in this vast network of 
people who are out to get the President: Attorney General Reno; former 
Carter speech writer and aide to Tip O'Neil Chris Matthews; and former 
aide to Senator Moynihan Tim Russert.
  Am I forgetting anyone? Oh, yes, let us recall that Louis Freeh, 
appointed by President Clinton, has called for the appointment of an 
independent counsel to look into illegal campaign contributions to the 
Democratic party, as has Charles LaBella, handpicked by Janet Reno to 
investigate those allegations.
  This is one interesting conspiracy.
