also, let me state that in this New Yorker magazine, dated April 22, I believe--I do not have my glasses with me-- there is a splendid article entitled ``How Independent Is the Counsel,'' once again, talking about the conflicts, talking about the image that this man who is burdened with these conflicts presents as he is attempting to portray that he is fair-minded, objective, and impartial in finding all the facts. It is time, Mr. President, that, once again, we sort of set this ship straight, if I might say that. It is time that we move forward with a fair determination of the facts and finding of the facts. I hope the committee will proceed expeditiously. But had I had the opportunity to vote, if it were a matter before this body that required a yes or no vote, I would have voted ``no.''
