Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 6, 1996
First of all, the statute of limitations on the Castle Grande transactions had not expired when the Rose Law Firm billing records were found in the White House in early January 1996. In fact, by a agreement between the RTC and the Rose Law Firm, the statute of limitations had been extended until March 1, 1996. So, Mr. President, we could have a disagreement on whether we ought to continue these hearings, but let us not get on the floor of the Senate and say things that are not true. It is simply wrong to suggest that the documents were discovered because the statute of limitations had expired when, in fact, the statute of limitations had not expired. Second, Mr. President, I think it is very important when colleagues stand up and make comments that there be a basis for those comments.
