                     DO NOT CENSOR GRAND JURY TAPES

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, some people want us to censor the tapes of 
the President's Grand Jury testimony. We should not be in the business 
of censoring things for partisan political purposes.
  The same people who want us to censor the President's tapes would 
scream to high heavens if we had refused to release the Nixon tapes.
  As U.S.A. Today, the Washington post, and many publications and 
columnists have pointed out, these difficulties were not brought on by 
enemies of the administration. We should not do anything to cover up 
perjury. We should not censor these tapes.
