Gary Condit: “I understand the point of the chairman of the Committee on Rules. This is an attempt to allow all the Members of this…”

On the recordSeptember 23, 1998
I understand the point of the chairman of the Committee on Rules. This is an attempt to allow all the Members of this House to have access to the information. It is an attempt to speed the process along so we can bring it to closure. The American people want us to bring this issue to closure. There is no reason why every Member of this House cannot have that information. We are not grade school kids. We understand it, and we know ultimately we need to make a decision. So my intent, Mr. Speaker, is simply to speed this process along so that we can make a decision and get back to the business of living our lives and running this country.
