                  SOME WILL NOT TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I was amazed to hear the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Kucinich) speak in this Chamber just a few short moments ago and 
use the word ``cover-up'' to describe the action that we took in the 
House Committee on International Relations yesterday. The truth is that 
some Democrats just will not take yes for an answer.
  The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) offered a resolution asking 
for the White House to turn over all information relative to the 
weapons of mass destruction for inspection by the Congress. The White 
House, at the urging of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, is 
doing just that. All documentation on the WMD program of Iraq will be 
available to every Member of Congress at the House Select Committee on 
Intelligence.
  We rejected the Kucinich resolution because it was mute, as the 
ranking Democrat member of the Committee on International Relations 
says.
  It is not a cover-up, Mr. Speaker. Some Democrats just will not take 
yes for an answer.
