On the recordAugust 1, 1996
Well I told you before, there are a lot of people who were never even charged with anything, much less offering to plead guilty to anything, who have been dragooned and pulled up and had thousands and tens of thousands of dollars of legal expenses, who were completely innocent but have been subject to abject harassment. And I said before when you asked me that question, are we going to pay their legal expenses, too? Are we going to pay the legal expenses of every person in America who is ever acquitted of an offense? So, no, I'm not going to call upon them to bring it up again. If they send it to my desk, it depends--whether I sign it or not depends upon whose legal expenses are included and whether it's a fair and balanced bill.
