The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE DURING THE FIRST 50 DAYS?” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H1973 on Feb. 22, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE DURING THE FIRST 50 DAYS?
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, quite rightly, the attention of America has been focused on this Chamber during the last 50 days, but it is only fair to ask what has been going on at the White House during the first 50 days of our Contract With America.
The President's embattled Commerce Secretary finds himself the subject of yet another Justice Department corruption probe. The President supposedly laid down the law with baseball owners and players--they did not listen to him either--in an unsuccessful bid to end the baseball strike.
Then the President sent a Surgeon General nominee to the Hill, misled Congress several times at to the number of abortions this nominee performed, and then attacked the pro-life movement for being concerned.
Mr. Speaker, while the Republicans have been busy with our Contract With America, the White House has been trying to legitimize a Cabinet Secretary's alleged corruption, attempted to play umpire in a millionaires' dispute, and failed to do a thorough background check on a Cabinet nominee, while all the while misrepresenting the nominee's record.
Mr. Speaker, Republicans are worried about average, everyday American concerns, not worried about millionaires, corrupt politicians, or left-
wing political movements.
That is why we will move in the next 50 days to enact our Contract With America.
