                      SCANDALS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, ``I think that there's no doubt about the 
seriousness of the problem we've got. We have a cancer within--close to 
the Presidency, that's growing. It's growing daily.''
  Mr. Speaker, that is a quote from the Watergate scandal, but the 
American people are applying it to current circumstances in the White 
House.
  We have a laptop referencing ``the big guy'' is getting his 10 
percent. We have text messages stating: My father is sitting next to me 
and you better pay up.
  I am paraphrasing, slightly.
  Despite statements from the White House on how there was no contact 
with business partners, we have pictures of them playing golf together, 
and White House visitor logs.
  Mr. Speaker, we have bank records, lots of them, around 20, with tens 
of millions of dollars going to members of the President's family, 
including grandchildren. We don't know what they did for it, and 
recently a bag of cocaine was found in the White House, but case 
closed. No one accused. No one found.
  Mr. Speaker, if this was a bag of anthrax, would that have been taken 
more seriously and solved? I think the answer is yes. The only reason 
there are any investigations taking place or oversight is because 
Republicans have a majority in the House.
