I come here in somewhat of a solemn fashion. I represent the Fourth District of Arkansas, the home district of the President of the United States. Because of that, I have studiously avoided publicly criticizing him in any way. Today I want to do that. I want to criticize him. I want to criticize the White House. The way that the FBI files have been handled is a disgrace. It is improper. It is causing unrest among the people of America, and something needs to be done about it. The White House needs to make corrections in this area. We need to hear the full story and not have it dribbled out one press release and one rumor at a time. Mr. President, I ask you to stop this, to confess what has been done, send those people to the courts who have done these felonies and committed these crimes, and let us get on with the business of America.
