On the recordMay 25, 1994
It is entirely consistent with history that, whether you have hearings about Presidential malfeasance or the relatives of Presidents and their malfeasance, frequently it is predicated upon partisan politics. Now, one might say, ``No, no, you are wrong.'' But I am not wrong. If it is not this body, I can at least say some legislative part of America has had hearings about people that belong to the First Family within 3 or 4 months of an election and just put them out there, even though many people just like them did not have a hearing. Now, I was going to say that I have found nothing yet to indicate that the majority leader was saying that we do not have to have hearings because the majority party does not want to have hearings. And I am very pleased to say that I believe that is still the case. Because I submit, Mr. Majority Leader, and a good friend of this Senator, that there is plenty of evidence upon which to have a congressional hearing. I mean, it is not skimpy, comparatively speaking.
