On the recordMarch 24, 1994
I don't have any idea. But I don't think I acted as if I had anything to hide. After all, I did volunteer--I had already given out my tax returns going back to 1980. And then keep in mind, when the furor arose at the request for the Special Counsel--even though everybody at the time said, ``Well, we don't think he's done anything wrong; there's no evidence that either he or the First Lady have done anything wrong; we still think there ought to be a special counsel''--I said we would give all this over to the Special Counsel. It was only after the Special Counsel had all the information that the people who first wanted the Special Counsel then decided they wanted the documents as well. So we're making them available. Perhaps I should have done it earlier, but you will see essentially what I've told you and things that you basically already know. Yes, Gwen [Gwen Ifill, New York Times].
