                  MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE NOT ON TRIAL

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, first there was the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Dan Burton), then the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. 
Paul McHale), now our great chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. 
Henry Hyde).
  Let us tell it like it is. The same White House that destroyed Billy 
Dale, the same White House that called Monica Lewinsky a liar, the same 
White House that abandoned Lonnie Guinier is on the attack.
  It is time to ask, Congress: How many files of American citizens were 
illegally transferred from the FBI to the White House and who ordered 
it? Are you on the list? Are you on the list? Am I on that list?
  Enough is enough. The gentleman from Indiana, the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania, and the gentleman from Illinois are not on trial. It is 
time for the House of Representatives to tell the White House that 
their ``spin to win'' could provoke ``the move to remove.''
  In America, the people govern. And America is a Nation of laws. I 
yield back the balance of my time in the soap opera in Washington, D.C.
