                       CONGRESS TURNS OTHER CHEEK

  (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, FBI agents testified that the Justice 
Department blocked their investigation of illegal campaign 
contributions to the Democrat National Committee in the last campaign.
  FBI agents also said, under oath, Justice Department lawyers actually 
impeded and delayed and obstructed any investigation.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Whether we are a Republican or a Democrat or 
an Independent, this is wrong. This may in fact be criminal. And the 
Justice Department warrants a thorough investigation by an independent 
counsel, not one of their own peers.
  The trouble is, Mr. Speaker, Congress turns the other cheek. Shame, 
Congress.
  I yield back China Gate. I yield back Travel Gate. I yield back Ruby 
Ridge. I yield back Waco. And I yield back more to come.
