On the recordFebruary 8, 1994
Prior to reading it, because I do not want to interrupt the continuity, the Senator from Alaska believes we should take a closer look at the operations of the oversight board and consider the appropriateness of contacting its members with regard to this case and the potential for tolling the statute of limitations. Obviously, we do not have the assurance of Mr. Altman that he intends to do it. He, in effect, said he might do it. But it would appear that the board, which has a responsibility of setting policy, could make a recommendation or perhaps direct him to do it. I am wondering if the Senator from New York is prepared to pursue this as an alternative avenue if, indeed, a positive response is not forthcoming from Mr. Altman relative to his intention to extend tolling on the statute of the limitations in the Madison case?
