    QUESTIONING KARL ROVE'S CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, Americans must have 
thought that the world was turned upside down the other day when they 
turned on their TV in the morning and they saw former Speaker Newt 
Gingrich, who was convicted of lying to the

House of Representatives and fined $300,000, calling Joe Wilson, who 
President George Bush the first called a great patriot for standing up 
to Saddam Hussein; here was a convicted liar Newt Gingrich calling Joe 
Wilson a liar. Something is terribly wrong with that picture.
  The question of Karl Rove's continuation in the White House is not a 
question just of a legal matter. It is of ethical and moral 
consequences. Does the President continue to rely on the advice and 
keep employed in the White House a man who sought to destroy the 
reputations and perhaps put in danger a CIA agent and her contacts and 
her fellow workers? Does the President continue to employ that person 
recognizing that that was done for the sole purposes of trying to get 
retribution because they provided the evidence that what the White 
House said about weapons of mass destruction was not accurate, it was 
not truthful, in fact, it turned out to be a lie?
