On the recordSeptember 5, 1997
the White House said, ``We must stop campaign spending abuses. Our Government is not for sale.'' If that is not enough to cause you a hernia, check this out. Three Buddhist nuns who pledged a vow of poverty raised $100,000 at a fundraiser held at a temple no less, now being called by the White House a community outreach program. I ask, reaching out for what? Souls? Or dollars? The truth is, if it was not a fundraiser, why did the nuns shred all the evidence? The nun answered, ``Look, I don't know what made me do it. Perhaps fear made me do it.'' I would like to add that is about as good a cover-up answer as anybody could give; after all, she could have said, the devil made me do it. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker, beam me up. I guarantee one thing. They did not shred any cash over there at that temple, and I yield back the balance of all this innocence.
