194.25 WORDS TAKEN DOWN

Mr. KANJORSKI during one minute speeches addressed the House and, during the course of his remarks,

Mr. SOLOMON demanded that certain words be taken down.

The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

I was aware of what you were going to say today. You know full well the reason you came down here on the floor and said what you said is that you didn't have the nerve to go up in the Press Galley and make those charges because you would be subject to a lawsuit.

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOBSON, held the words taken down to be unparliamentary, and said:

"In the opinion of the Chair, the remarks question the integrity of the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. CLINGER] and constitute a personality in debate.".

On motion of Mr. ARMEY, Mr. KANJORSKI was allowed to proceed in order.
