infrared video technology has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that rapid-fire semiautomatic weapons were fired into the Branch Davidian compound after the explosive fire had ignited. Yet all this time, the Justice Department and the FBI have maintained in their knowledge they never fired into the compound after or before the fire had started. Janet Reno further said she believed the FBI was telling the truth. Beam me up. 80 Americans were killed, many of them innocent women and children. They continued to lie. Stop the lies. Stop the coverup. Stop lying to Congress and Congress stop letting agencies get away with it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the need for an investigation into the lies at Waco.
