I was amazed to hear the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) speak in this Chamber just a few short moments ago and use the word ``cover-up'' to describe the action that we took in the House Committee on International Relations yesterday. The truth is that some Democrats just will not take yes for an answer. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) offered a resolution asking for the White House to turn over all information relative to the weapons of mass destruction for inspection by the Congress. The White House, at the urging of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, is doing just that. All documentation on the WMD program of Iraq will be available to every Member of Congress at the House Select Committee on Intelligence. We rejected the Kucinich resolution because it was mute, as the ranking Democrat member of the Committee on International Relations says. It is not a cover-up, Mr. Speaker. Some Democrats just will not take yes for an answer.
