                      TWO QUESTIONS FOR DAN RATHER

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House

[[Page 18327]]

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, earlier this morning, I came to this well 
reflecting on the difference between holding public office and being 
engaged in public service. Public office is not a prerequisite for 
public service. Neither, Mr. Speaker, is public office a prerequisite 
for holding the public trust.
  It is in that spirit that I again come to the well to cite apparently 
falsified documents utilized by CBS News in portraying the service 
record in the Texas Air National Guard of our Commander in Chief.
  Mr. Speaker, two questions need to be answered: What did Dan Rather 
know, and when did he know it?
  Understand, we believe in the first amendment; Congress shall make no 
law abridging the freedom of the press. All we ask, Mr. Speaker, is 
that Dan Rather answer those two questions.
