like most if not all Republicans in the House, I have refrained from making speeches or public statements about the current scandal gripping the White House. I have said on numerous occasions that there are more important issues I would rather the public focus on, like, for example, using American technology to upgrade Communist Chinese rockets, thus putting millions of American lives at risk of nuclear incineration. That is something I would like the American people to pay attention to. I would rather see investigative journalists tracking down the details of Communist Chinese money that was laundered into the last presidential campaign. I never did understand how those impoverished Buddhist monks ever got those $5,000 checks to turn over to the President's reelection effort. We never did find that out, did we? I wonder where that came from. Anyway, there are other things that are much more important than the current scandal that seems to be gripping onto everybody's attention. We Republicans have done our best to let the Starr investigation run its course without adding to the shrillness of the voices heard throughout the land.
