On the recordMay 25, 1994
I can see how this would go on without any clarification of when the hearings would begin for the rest of this year. I think that would be a very bad mistake. Clearly, I have people who ask me exactly what is going on and when are you going to have hearings. In fact, this very afternoon on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, there was a group of parents and students from Nettleton, MS I had the Whitewater question raised by a parent: When are you going to do your job in the Congress? We can't figure out what happened. We don't know if these allegations are accurate or not, but are you all going to do your job, have a hearing or not? Clearly, I am hearing that from my constituents, and I do not always raise the subject. So I do think we have a responsibility to move forward. There are questions about what happened with the Small Business Administration: Were pressures exerted on a gentleman named Mr. Hale in Arkansas? There are questions about the Resolution Trust Corporation RTC whether or not pressures were exerted on the RTC--not years ago-- last year.
