                     SCANDALS OF THE ADMINISTRATION

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, well, it took almost 2 years, but memos 
from FBI Director Louis Freeh regarding the Democratic fund-raising 
scandal have finally been turned over to Congress.
  Perhaps the Clinton administration was hoping that the memos would 
never turn up, especially since they state that key administration 
officials were under a lot of pressure not to go forward with the 
investigation because the Attorney General's job might hang in the 
balance.
  The American people have a right to expect the Department of Justice 
to investigate wrongdoing, no matter where it may occur.
  Mr. Speaker, the Clinton administration is not exempt from the laws 
of our Nation. It is my hope that the ongoing congressional hearings 
and investigations into these scandals will reveal the truth once and 
for all.
  I yield back the continuing scandals and illegal cover-ups that have 
become an unfortunate characteristic of this administration.
