- THE TRUTH IS LOOSE
-
- (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
- House for 1 minute.)
- Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, the Los Angeles Times succeeded in
- doing something this week that Speaker Gingrich has refused to do for
- years--release the names of the contributors to his political machine,
- GOPAC.
- The partial listing published by the Times shows that one couple gave
- GOPAC more than $715,000 while other contributors made more than
- $300,000 available apiece. But who and how many more contributors are
- there? There are many questions that remain unanswered.
- That is why the chorus of respected voices calling for an outside
- counsel is getting louder and louder.
- The New York Times, Roll Call, the respected public advocacy group,
- Public Citizen, former Special Counsel Richard Phelan, and Al Hunt of
- the conservative Wall Street Journal all agree: Only an outside counsel
- can put this matter to rest.
