                      ETHICS PROBLEMS IN CONGRESS

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks half a dozen Ohio 
newspapers have used the following terms to describe recent ethics 
problems proliferating through the United States Congress: acts of 
hypocrisy; national moral lapse; disgrace; dirty moves; ethically 
corrupt; unethical behavior; multi-indictment-producing investigation; 
illegal political fundraising; campaign money spigot; the very 
appearance of evil; and, finally, Mr. Speaker, sugar daddy.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of this Nation deserve better from the 
People's house.
