                      TIME TO FORGIVE AND MOVE ON

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, there are some people that just cannot seem 
to get beyond these allegations about the President of the United 
States lying to us. Over and over we are told the President of the 
United States lied to us. But I am not sure that that is actually the 
case. There is evidence. Even Joe Wilson's initial oral report to his 
superiors indicated some support for that idea that Saddam was trying 
to get weapons of mass destruction. Perhaps, maybe the President lied 
to us. Maybe his wife, who reportedly said the same thing, maybe they 
did lie to us.
  Maybe it is because of my Christian background that teaches 
forgiveness, but I say: In order for this country to move on, it is 
time to forgive President Bill Clinton if it was a lie and move on.
