“I think there is another injustice here, and that injustice is that we are bringing this measure to the floor of the Senate and we are being precluded from offering any amendments to it whatever. We cannot offer any amendments to it. Now, I wonder how defensible that position is by the Senator from Utah, when all that I have here is a simple sense-of-the-Senate resolution. It does not require anything. It does not appropriate one dime. It merely says that a legal defense fund should be established to compensate individuals for legal expenses incurred, responding to requests by the committee, and only those individuals who have not been named, targeted, or convicted in the investigation of the independent counsel related to the Whitewater Development Corp. should be eligible for reimbursement from the fund. Does the Senator from Utah say that he is going to preclude me from offering this amendment, this simple sense-of-the-Senate resolution?”
