On the recordMarch 29, 1996
as we are working on many important matters, including wrapping up of the appropriations conference, on which we, unfortunately, are not able to close all sections today, we also are, I hope, going to resolve the issue of whether the Whitewater Committee is extended. There have been a lot of questions asked. What has Whitewater found? Why are we here? I have a very lengthy analysis which I will make available, because many people who have not had the pleasure and the privilege--as the occupant of the Chair and I have had--of sitting through the lengthy hearings may not appreciate what we have learned and how many more questions there are. Mr. President, the investigation of the matters involving financial land transactions of the President, the First Lady and top officials in Arkansas, and subsequent actions by these officials, or their subordinates to interfere with, obtain information about, or delay investigations into those matters has come to be known generally as Whitewater.
