But, Mr. President, let me just say that the Senator from New York is using the floor of the Senate to smear the reputations of some good people. The Attorney General of the United States has appointed an independent counsel, an independent counsel who is at this moment forming a staff, at this moment moving into offices, at this moment beginning this investigation.

And then at that time the Congress will make a determination as to whether to proceed further into the Whitewater matter.
