On the recordJuly 25, 1996
I do not in any way want to impugn the integrity of the gentleman from Pennsylvania for whom I have the greatest respect. He has indicated that there is a discrepancy. The discrepancy is that in the FBI files there was an FBI agent who claimed that he was told by Mr. Nussbaum that the reason Craig Livingstone got this job is because his mother was a friend of Hillary Clinton's. I am putting in the Record a statement from Gloria Livingstone saying she does not know Hillary Clinton. The only time she ever met her was when she decorated a Christmas tree and Hillary Clinton came out and thanked everybody for their help. Mr. Speaker, I have previously included in the Record an unequivocal denial by Mr. Nussbaum, who is willing to come before the committee and make this denial under oath. Mr. Speaker, I think we ought to make clear that when the chairman comes and makes a statement like this, which is quite inflammatory, that it is not an uncontroverted statement by a man who does not know firsthand whether Mr. Nussbaum actually said such a thing or Mrs. Clinton was a friend of Mr. Livingstone's mother.
