House ‘check-bouncers’ still safe
WASHINGTON (Al*) — House Speaker Thomas
S holey saiii Thursday there would bo no naming
o( names or other punishment meted out as a re
sult of free overdrafts Bnd other abuses at the
House bank
"I’m not going to correct the system that way,"
holey said when ushed to release the names of
House members attached to the H.331 checks
I ounced in the? year ending Juno 30, 1990 The
( amoral Ar counting Office said the members only
House bank covered the overdrafts free of charge.
A group of freshman House Republicans, at a
news conference, said anything short of full dis
closure would not satisfy the voters
If we re not up front alxrut this it looks like a
whitewash," said Rep Scott King, R-Wis.
Rep John Boohner. R-Ohio, said if holey
dei sii't identify the offenders, "every member of
l ogress gets tarred We don't w ant to get tarred
nor feathered."
The group sent a letter to holey demanding "a
listing of each insufficient fund chock that was
written and the name of the member who wrote
h insufficient fund check " So as not to be ex
: pted themselves, the group said the list should
mtinue to the present time
Although the House is not releasing a list, law
b have been notified they may request from
" House bank their account statements and then
n I sise them publicly if they wish.
I! seemed unclear, however, what those state
ments would prove. Charles Mailon, who man
ages the bank, said the statements would never
show a negative balance.
In cases of insufficient funds, the bank covered
tin; obligation with its operating funds and set the
checks aside It would not debit the members’ ac
( ounts until enough money was deposited to cov
er them, he said.
A group called Americans for a Balanced Budg
et said it was asking all members who wrote no
overdrafts to identify themselves in a survey.
Some lawmakers obtained letters certifying
their purity from House Sergeant at Arms Jack
Russ, the House officer who oversees the bank
l oley on Thursday said he had complete confi
dence in Russ. Foley said the staff members who
disobeyed his orders to crack down on that prac
tice and to stop cashing big checks for non
members— would not he disciplined.
I have decided that we're going to make it
clear that . in the future I am going to hold mem
bets of the bank staff accountable,” he told re
porters. ' But for the moment, we're going to start
everybody with a clean slate.”

Thomas vote to be close
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two
inoru Democratic members of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
lid Thursday thoy oppose tho
nomination of Clarence Thom
as in the Suprumu Court, setting
the stage tor a close perhaps
vi nly split vote by the pan
el on Friday.
Alabama Sen Howell Heflin,
often a pivotal vote on the com
mittee, ami Wisconsin's Herb
Kohl said they had decided
utisl Thomas But Heflin and
other critics conceded he is
likely to be confirmed handily
by the full Senate, even if he
gels a worst-case, 7-7 tie and no
nmmendation from the com
mittee
Heflin took the Senate floor
to deliver a harshly critical as
sessment of the nominee
Thomas displayed "deceptive
ness at worst or muddlohoaded
ness at best" when he tried to
disavow past writings in which
ha- had advocated using natural
or higher law principles to in
terpret the Constitution, Heflin
said.
While Heflin noted he had
voted to confirm other conser
vative justices, "I am not for an
extremist right-wing court that
would turn hack progress made
against discrimination as well
as progress that has been made
for human rights and freedoms
in recent years.”
