                      NO AMERICAN IS ABOVE THE LAW

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I would commend to my colleagues and the 
citizens of this Nation the lead article in today's edition of The Hill 
entitled ``Clinton asks Dole for help on Hill.''
  The reason I do this, Mr. Speaker, is apparently there is a 
misconception being propagated by some here in Washington. Some here in 
Washington have confused their occupancy of a certain office with the 
institution itself. Let us reaffirm at this time, in this place, that 
the offices we hold are a reflection of public trust, and our presence 
in those offices does not reflect the institution one way or the other.
  Indeed, Mr. Speaker, let us reaffirm at this place, in this time, 
that no American is above the law, no matter what office they may hold.
