On the recordJuly 14, 1998
No, no, no, I will take back my time. I will tell my colleague why. I will not let him label that. That is not a defense. It is an explanation of the depth of the problem. And what happened in the Bush White House was wrong and whatever happened in the Clinton White House, if it involved the interaction of money and participation in the White House, it was also wrong, and I want to end it.
