“as each day goes by, another shoe falls in the Whitewater story. In fact Whitewater seems to have more shoes than a centipede. Now, according to the President, Mr. Speaker, Whitewater is the Republicans' fault. Amazing. We made no investment. We did not become land speculators. We did not claim any losses on our tax returns. But somehow Whitewater is our fault. It used to be that the buck stopped at the President's desk, but, when it comes to Whitewater, we cannot find where the buck started or stopped. Regretfully Congress is picking up on the President's bad habits. It seems the buck does not stop here either. Despite questions that grow daily, Mr. Speaker, Congress cannot hold one hearing on even one aspect of this suspicious story. In Congress our Democrat leaders are trying to turn Whitewater into backwater. As Whitewater becomes white hot though, the Democrats are trying to white it out.”
