           By Mrs. LAWRENCE:
       H.R. 5565.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 8, clause 18: allows Congress to make 
     all laws ``which shall be necessary and proper for carrying 
     into execution'' any ``other'' powers vested by the 
     Constitution in the Government of the United States.
       The Supreme Court has held that the power to conduct 
     oversight is implied from the general vesting of legislative 
     powers in Congress.
