Trent Lott: “Do we know that is all of them? There was another group of papers that came to the committee just last week, 200 pages…”

On the recordFebruary 29, 1996
Do we know that is all of them? There was another group of papers that came to the committee just last week, 200 pages, not from Gearan but from Ickes. If it were one example, or maybe two--but three? I am not on the committee. The committee tells us, tells the Senators. Is this all the documentation or not? I do not know. I am under the impression there is reason to believe maybe there is more information that we should try to obtain. Maybe there is information, even from the independent counsel, that that might be available at some point. But we are not even going to be able to look at any of that?
